| pubmed-article:16294283 | pubmed:abstractText | Sustained, stable wide QRS-complex tachycardia (WCT) remains a diagnostic challenge, because the treatment of supra-ventricular tachycardia (SVT) with aberrant conduction differs considerably from that of a ventricular tachycardia (VT). A usual recommendation for treating a case of a stable WCT is to manage it as if it were VT, in accordance with the consideration of "first do no harm". The aim of this study was to determine whether Board-certified emergency-physicians are able to differentiate VT from SVT with aberrant conduction in a high percentage of cases (> 90%), thus to assure more precise prehospital treatment." | lld:pubmed |
