Objectives Differential Diagnosis of wide complex tachycardia Approach to wide complex tachcardia Examples of wide complex tachycardia Adenosine/ACLS
DDx: Ventricular tachycardia SVT with a preexisting bundle branch block or a functional rate related bundle branch block SVT with antegrade conduction via an accessory pathway Drug induced – TCA, Class one antiarryhtmic Electrolyte - hyperkalemia
Wellen’s Criteria RBBB Pattern LBBB Pattern
Sensitivity: 98. 7% Specificity: 96. 5%
Brugada Criteria: -Sensitivity: 79 to 91% -Specificity: 43 to 70%
Approach to WCT 1. History 2. Physical Exam 3. ECG Regular: VT, SVT with aberrancy, SVT with accessory pathway, Electrolyte abnormalities, Medications Irregular: a fib + pre-excitation, a fib + BBB, a flutter + BBB, MAT + BBB, polymorphic Vtach (torsades) ? AV dissociation, Fusion beats, capture beats 4. Adenosine (? Diagnostic, ? therapeutic)

Adenosine in the Diagnosis of Broad Complex Tachycardia - Griffith et al. The Lancet March 1988 89% Sensitivity, 95% specificity, 92% predictive accuracy for SVT origin Broad Complex Tachycardia SVT VT 8/9 1/17 Atrial Fibrillation with WPW 0/6 No change in mean RR
Intravenous Adenosine Triphosphate During Wide QRS Complex Tachycardia: Safety, Therapeutic Efficacy and Diagnostic utility - Sharma et al. The American Journal of Medicine, April 1990 Sensitivity: 70%, Broad Specificity: 92%, PPV: 85% Complex Tachycardia SVT not requiring the AV node 1/10 Significant shortening of RR interval VT SVT requiring the AV node 1/14 7/10
Adenosine for the Management of Patients with Tachycardias – A new Protocol - Domanovits et al. European Heart Journal, 1994 Wide Complex Tachycardia SVT VT Afib/Aflutter with aberrancy 17/22 0/4 0/3
Adenosine For Wide Complex Tachycardia: Efficacy and Safety - Marill et al. Critical Care Medicine, 2009 Regular Wide Complex Tachycardia Primary outcome: termination of tachycardia with adenosine, AV block allowing rhythm identification - The odds of SVT increase by a factor of 36 after a positive response to adenosine SVT VT 104/116 2/81 - Odds of VT increase by factor of 9 after a negative response to adenosine
