A wide complex tachycardia (WCT) is simple enough to define: a cardiac rhythm with a rate >100 beats per minute and a QRS width >120 milliseconds (ms).

May 19, 2020 · In this review, we provide an in‐depth analysis of traditional and more contemporary methods to differentiate ventricular tachycardia and supraventricular wide complex tachycardia.

Aug 27, 2024 · SVT With Aberrancy vs. VT. Differentiating between SVT with aberrancy and VT can help determine the appropriate treatment. Several factors can help distinguish between the two, including the patient’s clinical presentation, the appearance of the ECG, and the response to specific medications.

Aug 4, 2020 · What exactly is a wide complex tachycardia (WCT)? A WCT is a rhythm with a ventricular rate over 100 bpm and a QRS complex ≥ 120ms (3 small boxes). We’ll be hitting on the following topics: SVT with aberrancy VS ventricular tachycardia; Atrial fibrillation with preexcitation (Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome) Tricyclic antidepressant (TCA ...

First, we will review of Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) & then Ventricular Tachycardia: Spontaneous focus of irritably of Atrium (supraventricular) that discharges at a rapid rate.

Aug 13, 2021 · What is wide-complex tachycardia (WCT)? A wide-complex tachycardia (WCT) is defined as: ventricular rate > 100 beats per minute; QRS complex duration of more than 0.12 seconds; The primary differential for a WCT is VT and SVT with aberrant conduction. What Rhythms can Produce SVT with Aberrancy?

Wide complex tachycardia (WCT) is a general term that broadly encompasses ventricular tachycardia (VT) and supraventricular wide complex tachycardia (SWCT). Simply defined, WCTs are rapid heart rhythms (i.e., ≥100 beats per minute) that simultaneously possess a prolonged QRS duration (i.e., ≥120 ms).

In this article, we will discuss the approach to the evaluation and management of regular WCT. The differential diagnosis of regular wide complex tachycardia includes three major categories: ventricular tachycardia (VT), supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) with …

Jul 1, 2016 · Wide-complex tachycardia (WCT) is defined as a tachyarrhythmia with a rate >100 beats/min (bpm) and a QRS duration >120 milliseconds on a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). Utilizing the ECG, the correct mechanistic diagnosis of a WCT rhythm is often difficult.

True Vtach generally has rate >120bpm. If rate <120bpm or refractory to other therapy, consider other causes. When in doubt, use cardioversion for treatment of regular WCT. In irregular WCT, consider Afib with WPW in which Procainamide is the treatment of choice. ↑ Gupta AK, Thakur RK. Wide QRS complex tachycardias.
