Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome
| Narrow complex regular tachycardias | |
| Sinus tachycardia | Normal P waves, followed by normal QRS complexes and normal repolarization. Usually slows at night unless driven by extracardiac factors |
| AV nodal re-entry tachycardia (AVNRT) | Most common SVT Regular with P wave buried in QRS or short RP interval (unless atypical AVNRT) Usually terminates by inducing atrioventricular (AV) block |
| AV re-entry tachycardia (AVRT) | Less common than AVNRT |
| Atrial flutter with a fixed block (either 2:1, 3:1 or 4:1, rarely at 1:1 conduction causing a ventricular rate of around 300 bpm) | ‘Saw-tooth’ baseline with atrial rate usually c. 300/min and higher than ventricular rate |
| Atrial tachycardia | Like atrial flutter, but 1:1 conduction <240 bpm May be irregular (‘multifocal’), commonly associated with β-agonists |
| Narrow complex irregular tachycardias | |
| Atrial fibrillation | No P waves, irregular ventricular rate |
| Atrial flutter with variable block | ‘Saw-tooth’ baseline |
| Multifocal atrial tachycardia | Different P wave morphologies |
| Wide complex regular tachycardias | |
| Ventricular tachycardia (VT) | Wide QRS complexes, AV dissociation, concordance |
| Supraventricular tachycardia with either bundle branch block or accessory pathway | Typical right bundle branch block or left bundle branch block morphology with no concordance Assume VT if in doubt |
| Wide complex irregular tachycardias | |
| Torsade de pointes | |
| Atrial fibrillation or variable flutter with a bundle branch block or an accessory pathway | |
