Differential Diagnosis
• Supraventricular tachycardia with aberrancy• Pre-excited tachycardia• Motion artifact• Paced rhythm• Ventricular tachycardia
– Idiopathic– Non-idiopathic
![Page 4: Management of the Patient Presenting with Wide Complex Tachycardia Samir Saba, MD Director, Cardiac Electrophysiology.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050920/5519d36255034649768b49ab/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Importance of diagnosing VT
1. Sensitivity versus Specificity
2. In all patients with WCT, VT is the diagnosis in 80% of cases

Motion artifact
• Failure to recognize artifact is common:
– 94% of internists– 58% of cardiologists– 38% of EP
![Page 16: Management of the Patient Presenting with Wide Complex Tachycardia Samir Saba, MD Director, Cardiac Electrophysiology.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050920/5519d36255034649768b49ab/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Motion Artifact
Recognize artifact by:• Marching the high frequency signal across the WCT• Looking at other available leads

Approach to Management
• History
• Physical Exam
• ECG
• EP Study
![Page 31: Management of the Patient Presenting with Wide Complex Tachycardia Samir Saba, MD Director, Cardiac Electrophysiology.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050920/5519d36255034649768b49ab/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
History
• Age (if >35 yrs, VT>85%) • Symptoms (palpitations, syncope, LH,
diaphoresis, angina, seizures, CA…)• Circumstances: N/V/D (electrolytes)• PMH: Cardiac disease, MI, CHF, ICD, RF• Family history: SCD, arrhythmias• Medications: QT prolongation, digoxin, diuretics,
etc…• Habits: Drugs
![Page 32: Management of the Patient Presenting with Wide Complex Tachycardia Samir Saba, MD Director, Cardiac Electrophysiology.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050920/5519d36255034649768b49ab/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Physical Examination
• Hemodynamic Stability• Signs of acute CHF• Sternal wound• PVD• Stroke• PM/ICD• Evidence of AV dissociation (cannon A waves,
marked fluctuations in BP, variable S1 intensity)• Maneuvers: CSM, pharmacologic interventions
(lidocaine, adenosine, BB, verapamil)
![Page 33: Management of the Patient Presenting with Wide Complex Tachycardia Samir Saba, MD Director, Cardiac Electrophysiology.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050920/5519d36255034649768b49ab/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Other tests
• Laboratory tests: K, Mg, plasma concentrations of drugs (dig, procan, etc…)
• CXR: cardiomegaly
• Echo: structural abnormalities
![Page 34: Management of the Patient Presenting with Wide Complex Tachycardia Samir Saba, MD Director, Cardiac Electrophysiology.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050920/5519d36255034649768b49ab/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
ECG
During WCT:
• AV dissociation• Fusion beats• Capture beats• Morphology
– Width of QRS– Morphology of the
bundles– Electrical axis– Precordial concordance
In NSR:• Ischemia• Acute MI• Old MI• Long QT• Brugada pattern• LVH• Epsilon waves

Therapy
• Acute Management:– For the Unstable patient:
• Emergent synchronized cardioversion• If QRS and T cannot be distinguished then defibrillation• Cautious use of sedatives and analgesics
– For the Stable patient:• Class I or III AAD• Treatment of associated conditions (ischemia,
electrolytes,…)• Elective cardioversion• Interrogation of ICD or PM if present
![Page 40: Management of the Patient Presenting with Wide Complex Tachycardia Samir Saba, MD Director, Cardiac Electrophysiology.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050920/5519d36255034649768b49ab/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Therapy
• Chronic Management:• AAD:
– class IC or III, if structurally normal hearts– class III, if structurally abnormal hearts (with
ICD)
• EPS+/-RFA – Stand alone therapy in idiopathic VT– Adjunctive therapy (+/-AAD) in ischemic VT
• ICD– For primary and secondary prevention of SCD

EP Study
• Induce the arrhythmia
• Activation or Pace mapping
• Ablation
![Page 43: Management of the Patient Presenting with Wide Complex Tachycardia Samir Saba, MD Director, Cardiac Electrophysiology.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050920/5519d36255034649768b49ab/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Special Case: NSVT
• EF≤35%, then ICD
• EF>40%, no ICD
• 35%<EF≤40%, then EPS and ICD if EPS+ (MUSTT trial)
In all these cases, -blockers and other AAD can be used if NSVT is symptomatic.

Summary
• DDX of WCT includes VT, SVT with aberrancy, preexcited tachycardia, artifact, and paced rhythm. VT accounts for 80%
• Diagnosis hinges of good history, PE, ECG• Acute management depends on stability of
patient. In the unstable patient, immediate cardioversion or defibrillation is recommended
• Long term management armamentarium includes: AAD, Ablation, ICD
