Single- and multi-step approaches to getting the right diagnosis

Years of clinical research have led to a variety of manual methods that can be used to differentiate wide complex tachycardias into ventricular tachycardia and supraventricular wide complex tachycardia. In this episode of Mayo Clinic’s “Cardiovascular CME” podcast, cardiac intensivist and assistant professor of medicine at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, Adam May, M.D., joins host Anthony Kashou, M.D., to discuss the different types of manual wide complex tachycardia differentiation methods available to clinicians today.

Highlights include:

• An overview of the different types of manual methods that clinicians can use to differentiate wide complex tachycardias.
• Common single- and multi-step algorithms used to differentiate wide complex tachycardias.
• Alternative approaches to differentiate wide complex tachycardias when a single criterion cannot be used.
