However, electrical cardioversion is safer if you are skilled at procedural sedation, as most emergency physicians are. Chemical cardioversion (with the exception of adenosine) carries a high risk of hypotension, prolonged QT, and pro-arrhythmia.[epmonthly.com]

The following criteria suggest a supraventricular rhythm with aberrancy rather than VT: 1. A bundle branch morphology identical to that of the previous 12-lead ECG 2. An ectopic P wave that precedes the QRS complex 3.[aibolita.com]
(iii) In RBBB pattern tachycardia, a monophasic or biphasic waveform in lead V1 suggests VT and a triphasic RSR, rSR configuration suggests SVT. (iv) A 40 change in axis between sinus rhythm and tachycardia is an independent predictor of VT.[e-arrhythmia.org]
A monomorphic tachycardia with a positive complex in aVR suggests the axis is bizarre and is very suggestive of a ventricular origin.[rcemlearning.co.uk]

The supraventricular impulse reaches the His-Purkinje system while the right bundle branch is still refractory and therefore blocks the impulse.[ecgwaves.com]

Disposition: The vast majority of patients with an episode of ventricular tachycardia should be admitted to the hospital (preferably a high-acuity setting) for further workup with cardiology or electrophysiology.[emdocs.net]
Syncope or severe symptoms occurring with palpitations, should always result in a formal cardiac workup. Syncope only occurs in about 15% of patients with SVT.[clinicaladvisor.com]
If the impulse is too premature, it may find one of the bundle branches still refractory from the previous impulse and will be conducted with a wideQRScomplex. these premature atrial impulses that are followed by wideQRScomplexes are aberrantly conducted[afghanheart.wordpress.com]
This results in bundle branch block and hence " wideQRScomplex ". Clinical significance Identification of the wideQRScomplex as aberration helps to exclude the diagnosis of VPS. ECG 1a.[metealpaslan.com]

This can be either a left or rightbundlebranchblock pattern. The following criteria suggest a supraventricular rhythm with aberrancy rather than VT: 1. A bundle branch morphology identical to that of the previous 12-lead ECG 2.[aibolita.com]
These aberrantly conducted beats typically have rightbundlebranchblock morphology.[ecgwaves.com]
Figure 2 – The postcardioversion ECG showed normal sinus rhythm with rightbundle-branchblock.[consultant360.com]
Aberrantly conducted atrial impulses usually rightbundlebranchblock configuration with rSR pattern in V1 because the right bundle branch has a longer refractory period than the left bundle branch in most individual. please click here for more information[afghanheart.wordpress.com]
Even though rightbundlebranchblock aberrancy is more common than left bundle branch block aberrancy, both are possible. Additionally, we know that many patients have underlying bundle branch block, including bifascicular block, at baseline.[aclsmedicaltraining.com]
In other words, typical RBBB, typical LBBB, typical bifascicularblock (RBBB/LAFB), and typical bifascicularblock (RBBB/LPFB). Having said that, just because the ECG shows a typical pattern, that doesn’t mean the ECG shows SVT![ems12lead.com]
Additionally, we know that many patients have underlying bundle branch block, including bifascicularblock, at baseline. When a patient with a bundle branch block experiences SVT the result is a wide complex tachycardia.[aclsmedicaltraining.com]
QRS morphology in Figure 1 is consistent with a pattern of bifascicularblock ( RBBB/LAHB ) — albeit uncertainty about the presence of a small initial r wave for the RBBB pattern seen in lead V1 is a bit atypical.[ecg-interpretation.blogspot.com]

Treatment: In any patient compromised by their monomorphic VT the treatment of choice is DC cardioversion.[rcemlearning.co.uk]
General Treatment Principles Treatment should be based on the ventricular rate, not the atrial rate Example: Atrial flutter with 4:1 or 5:1 with a ventricular rate of 30 should be treated as an bradydysrhythmia.[maryland.ccproject.com]
Treatment Considerations – Sustained fascicular VT responds extremely well to treatment with IV verapamil ( proposed role for slow inward calcium channel in genesis of the arrhythmia ) — and this is the treatment of choice when the arrhythmia is recognized[ecg-interpretation.blogspot.com]
This arrhythmia is usually stable and the prognosis is much more favorable than VT. It is usually treated with vagal maneuvers or adenosine. What does aberrancy mean? You can think of “aberrancy” as abnormal conduction.[aclsmedicaltraining.com]
Prognosis Monomorphic VT usually occurs after myocardial infarction and is a sign of extensive myocardial damage; there is a high mortality, often resulting from impaired ventricular function.[patient.info]
VT is the most important differential diagnosis because of its unfavorable prognosis. An accurate diagnosis with immediate treatment is usually required.[e-arrhythmia.org]
These tachycardias are diverse; as such, the pathophysiology behind each form of WCT includes toxic, metabolic, and conduction system dysfunction mechanisms.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology A sudden change in the length of the previous cardiac cycle results in a refractory right or left bundle branch. Refractoriness in any bundle branch does not allow the supraventricular impulse to propagate in that branch.[metealpaslan.com]
