Differentiating ventricular tachycardia
from svt with aberrancy
➢ Leads to correct initial therapy
➢ Avoids use of Verapamil which may precipitate hemodynamic collapse with V.T.
Cannot use rate or the presence or absence ofsymptoms as discriminator !
➢ Use ECG criteria for diagnosis
➢ Use presence of risk factors for V.T. as discriminator

Morphology Criteria for VT
![Page 15: ECG for the intensivists](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030123/58a471051a28aba34c8b51c5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Four Negative Leads Concept
Farouk.K EHJ, 1999
The presence of predominantly negative QRS complex (QS,rS) in two out of four leads (LI, LII, V1 and V6)providedthat LI or V6 is included…..diagnose VT (sp. 100% sen.86%).
Otherwise consider SVT with aberration or antidromictachycardia.
![Page 16: ECG for the intensivists](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030123/58a471051a28aba34c8b51c5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Other ECG Criteria
B.Axis twist
➢ North - west QRS axis deviation
➢ RBBB morphology with LAD > - 300
➢ LBBB morphology with RAD > + 900
C. A_V relationship
➢ Fusion beats, capture beats
➢ Ventriculoatrial conduction with block
➢ Previous ECG show MI or previous ECG show that duringsinus rhythm, bifascular block is present, which changes inconfiguration during tachycardia

![Page 19: ECG for the intensivists](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030123/58a471051a28aba34c8b51c5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: ECG for the intensivists](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030123/58a471051a28aba34c8b51c5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Ventricular Tachycardia Concordance (different from “concordance” as used for ST-T vs QRS)
Step 1: Absence of RS in all precordial leads
![Page 21: ECG for the intensivists](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030123/58a471051a28aba34c8b51c5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Step 1: there is no absence of RS in all precordial leads (no concordance) (V5, V6)
Step 2: RS in V5 > 0.10 ms, therefore v tach
Step 3: No AV dissociation
Step 4: RBBB pattern (tall R in V1). Notching of this monophasic R indicates VT
![Page 22: ECG for the intensivists](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030123/58a471051a28aba34c8b51c5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Case 1A 67 year old male with history of previous infarct and reduced LVfunction presents with palpitations and dizziness.His blood pressure is 80/40.
A. Synchronized cardioversion for VT
B. I.V. Procainamide for Atrial Fibrillation with WPWsyndrome
C. Synchronized cardioversion for unstable SVT withaberrancy.
D. I.V. Amiodarone for SVT with aberrancy in a patientwith reduced LV function.

➢ This patient has ventricular tachycardia.
➢ An RS interval of greater than 100 msec is clearlyvisible.
➢ In addition, by history this patient is overwhelminglylikely to present with VT with a wide complex rhythm.
➢ Also this patient is not stable with relative hypotensionrequiring immediate cardioversion as opposed topharmacologic therapy.
Answer A
![Page 25: ECG for the intensivists](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030123/58a471051a28aba34c8b51c5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Case 2A 42 year old smoker presents to the ED with palpitations.
His blood pressure is 100/60. The following rhythm strip is obtained.
A. Emergent cardioversion for polymorphic VT.
B. I.V. procainamideC. I.V. lidocaineD. Diltiazem drip to obtain rate control.
![Page 28: ECG for the intensivists](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030123/58a471051a28aba34c8b51c5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What Is It ?

Answer B
➢ This patient has WPW with atrial fibrillation anda rapid ventricular response.
➢ He is stable, thus I.V. procainamide is indicatedto slow conduction down the accessory pathway.
➢ Diltiazem is contraindicated.
➢ Lidocaine will have no effect, as this is not VT.

Antidromic tachycardia
• This ECG is an example of antidromic AVRT secondary to Wolff-Parksinson-White syndrome
• Electrophysiology testing confirmed pre-excitation with a right-sided accessory pathway (Type B WPW). Echocardiographyrevealed a structurally normal heart. He was discharged home onoral flecainide pending ablation of his accessory pathway.

![Page 37: ECG for the intensivists](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030123/58a471051a28aba34c8b51c5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Brugada syndrome
• Described by Brugada and Pedro 1992• Frequent cause of death in pt. with normal hearts• Also a cause of sudden death in athletic population• More frequently diagnosed in males of South East Asian
descent• Characterized by ECG abnormalities in V1 to V3:• i ) incomplete RBBB• ii) ST segment elevation
![Page 38: ECG for the intensivists](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030123/58a471051a28aba34c8b51c5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Brugada syndrome
• Caused by a reduction of sodium current across cardiac sodiumchannels
• ST elevation thought to be due to rebalancing of currents active atend of phase 1
• Definitive treatment is by placement of Internal Cardio-defibrilator(ICD )
• Mortality at 10yrs is 0%for ICD and 26% for pharmocologicalagents(amiodorone,B-blockers )

Summary
• Think of Brugada syndrome in a patient with palpitationsor syncope!• Pseudo-RBBB• ST Elevation V1-V3• Family history of sudden cardiac death
• Send patients with suspicious ECGs to cardiology /electrophysiology for drug challenge or electrophysiologytesting.
