Overview
Physical Examination
- Vitals should be obtained to assess hemodynamic stability and guide therapy.
- Cannon "a waves" are a manifestation of AV dissociation and suggest VT.
- Carotid sinus massage (CSM)/Valsalva: ST can gradually slow. MAT, AT, flutter, and AF may transiently slow. An AV nodal dependent WCT may terminate. AV dissociation may become more apparent with CSM in VT. VT can terminate with CSM.
