In this course we will discuss the complex tachyarrhythmias, while highlighting the ventricular tachycrdias. How to approach wide complex tachycardia on the ECG, the clues to a specific diagnsois, managment approach and treatment will all be discussed.
What you'll learn
- Understand the electrophysiological mechanisms underlying ventricular tachycardia.
- Systematically analyze wide-complex tachycardias using a step-by-step ECG approach.
- Differentiate ventricular tachycardia from supraventricular tachycardia with aberrancy.
- Recognize key ECG patterns and clinical clues that support the diagnosis of VT.
- Apply validated ECG algorithms to reach the correct diagnosis confidently.
- Correlate resting ECG findings with underlying structural or electrical disease.
- Understand acute management strategies for ventricular tachycardia.
- Select appropriate antiarrhythmic medications based on VT type and clinical context.
- Identify indications for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation.
- Understand the role of radiofrequency ablation in VT management.
- Integrate ECG interpretation with clinical decision-making in emergency and inpatient settings.
