Every couple of years we come across a new published algorithm or decision tools that attempt to once-and-for-all reliably distinguish between VT and SVT-AC. The most recent such attempt, the Basel ...

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2005;28(12):1322-1346. The performance of SVT-VT discriminators is linked to boundaries between detection zones for ventricular arrhythmias. In Guidant ICDs, this link is ...

Most wide QRS complex tachycardias (WCTs) are ventricular or supraventricular in origin, but to differentiate between the two can present a diagnostic challenge. To develop and test an algorithm that ...

Ventricular tachycardia, or V-tach (VT), and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) are two types of tachycardia. The term “tachycardia” refers to a heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute. The key ...

Ventricular tachycardia is a type of arrhythmia, or irregular heart rhythm. Sometimes called VT or V-tach, it’s an unusually fast heartbeat that starts in the lower part of your heart called the ...

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a heart condition that begins in the lower chambers of the heart. It causes the heart to beat very quickly at a rate of over 100 beats per minute. Symptoms of VT ...
