Clinical Logic/Primary Survey
• Is the QRS >120 ms?
• Look at axis criteria (can be helpful)
• Look at the morphology in Leads V1 and V6
• Look for concordance (all up or all down)
• Is AV dissociation present?
• Patient history/meds

Positive Concordance WPW
• Best seen in Leads V3-V6, I, and aVL
• Delta waves diagnostic (slurred upstroke R wave)
• Short PR interval
66
![Page 17: Chapter Page, 12-Lead ECG for Acute and Critical Care Providers © 2006 by Pearson Education, Inc. Upper Saddle River, NJ 6 Wide Complex Tachycardia.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050714/56649c785503460f9492e009/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Page, 12-Lead ECG for Acute and Critical Care Providers© 2006 by Pearson Education, Inc. Upper Saddle River, NJ
RS Interval
• Measure from the start of the R wave to the nadir point (tip) of the S wave
• RS >100 indicates VT
67

Capture or Fusion Beats
• Arrow on the 6th complex indicates an escape beat or fusion beat
• If seen it is diagnostic of VT (AV dissociation)
![Page 20: Chapter Page, 12-Lead ECG for Acute and Critical Care Providers © 2006 by Pearson Education, Inc. Upper Saddle River, NJ 6 Wide Complex Tachycardia.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050714/56649c785503460f9492e009/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Patient History
• Two questions:• Have you had a
heart attack before?• Did you have fast
heart rates after your MI?
• If yes to both, odds of VT are 86% with a wide complex tachycardia
67
