What is the definition of a Wide Complex Tachycardia?
Why is it important to distinguish between a supraventricular and a ventricular origin of the arrhythmia?
How can Ventricular Tachycardia and Supraventricular Tachycardia be estimated?
With this fact in mind, proceed with the following questions:
Which drugs prolong can cause Wide Complex Tachyarrhythmias?
What is the treatment of Ventricular Tachycardia?
What is the relationship between sustained VT and non-sustained VT and mortality in the post-MI period?
Name the common causes of wide complex tachyarrhythmia (WCT)
These are the less common mechanisms of WCT

- Heart rate?
- QRS Complex length?
Why is it important to distinguish between a supraventricular and a ventricular origin of the arrhythmia?
- does it change management?
- what about potential treatment options?
How can Ventricular Tachycardia and Supraventricular Tachycardia be estimated?
- is clinical history important?
- history of MI?
- history of SVT?
- age of the patient?
- __%
With this fact in mind, proceed with the following questions:
- does the patient have underlying structural heart disease?
- does the patient have a pacemaker, implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD), or a wide QRS at baseline (due to RBBB, LBBB or intraventricular conduction delay)?
Which drugs prolong can cause Wide Complex Tachyarrhythmias?
- which drugs will prolong the QT interval?
- which drugs cause polymorphic VTs?
- which drugs cause Torsades de Pointes?
What is the treatment of Ventricular Tachycardia?
- which drugs?
- which interventions?
What is the relationship between sustained VT and non-sustained VT and mortality in the post-MI period?
- how do these factors relate to mortality?
- does it matter if Sustained VT occurs early in the course of recovery?
