Overview
Ventricular Tachycardia
- Ventricular tachycardia (VT). Wide complex tachycardia will be due to VT in 80% of cases if there is a history of myocardial infarction (MI). Only 7% of patients with SVT with aberrancy will have had a prior myocardial infarction (MI). Wide complex tachycardia will be due to VT in 98% of cases if there's a history of structural heart disease.
Supraventricular Tachycardia
- 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:
- Antegrade conduction down an accessory bypass tract for instance in Wolff Parkinson White syndrome (WPW)
- Atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction and occasional 1:1 conduction
- Automatic junctional tachycardia
- AV nodal reentrant tachycardia
- AV reentrant tachycardia using a bypass tract
- Intraatrial reentrant tachycardia
- Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia
- SA nodal reentrant tachycardia
- Sinus tachycardia
