Ventricular Tachycardia

A fast, regular, wide-complex rhythm with no P waves is ventricular tachycardia.

What our notes say

• A fast, regular, wide-complex rhythm with no P waves is ventricular tachycardia. (Paediatrics end of 2nd semester exam (MBPE 4300): 5 October 2021, 50 MCQs)
• A regular, rapid, wide and uniform sine-wave pattern is ventricular tachycardia. (Paediatrics end of second semester exam (MBPE 4300): 4 October 2022, cardiology,)
• Ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia are shockable rhythms and need immediate unsynchronised defibrillation along with high-quality chest compressions. (Cardiology Question Bank: 15 Clinical MCQs)
• • Arrhythmias e.g. ventricular tachycardia, rapid super-ventricular tachycardia, atrio-ventricular block, artificial pacemaker failure (Cardiovascular system examination revised 2012 — Past Paper Questions & Answers)
• Arrhythmias - atrial tachycardia, atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia (Cardiovascular system examination revised 2012 — Past Paper Questions & Answers)
•  Ventricular tachycardia [wide QRS, tachycardic rates, minimal cardiac output due to ineffective pumping, cannot sustain life] (H2Tassessment — Past Paper Questions & Answers)
