A wide complex tachycardia (WCT) can be due to either:

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) (80% of cases, 98% of cases if coronary heart disease or structural heart disease are present)

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) with aberrant ventricular conduction, which is either new or due to a preexisting left or right bundle branch block or a preexisting nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay (IVCD). The underlying supraventricular rhythm that is aberrantly conducted can be any one of the following rhythms:
