Overview
An ECG is very helpful in the diagnosis of Pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Findings on an ECG suggestive or diagnostic of Pulseless ventricular tachycardia include regular R-R intervals, rapid ventricular rate with an indistinguishable atrial rate (absence of p-waves), Av dissociation, and a wide QRS complex (more 0.12 sec).
Electrocardiogram
An ECG is very helpful in the diagnosis of Pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Findings on an ECG suggestive or diagnostic of Pulseless ventricular tachycardia include;[1]
- Regular R-R intervals,
- Rapid ventricular rate with an indistinguishable atrial rate (absence of p-waves),
- Av dissociation, and
- A wide QRS complex (more 0.12 sec)
Several ECG criteria have been created to help diagnose VT. See Electrocardiogram for a comprehensive description of the criteria.
