| pubmed-article:3337132 | pubmed:abstractText | Misdiagnosis occurs upon initial presentation to medical attention in a considerable number of patients referred for evaluation of wide QRS tachycardia. In order to improve diagnostic accuracy (ventricular versus supraventricular tachycardia), the answers to two key bedside questions were prospectively evaluated: (1) Had the patient experienced a prior myocardial infarction? (2) Did symptoms of tachyarrhythmia start only after the infarction? A patient presenting with a wide QRS tachycardia was considered to have ventricular tachycardia if he or she answered in the affirmative to both of these questions. Of 31 consecutive patients referred with electrocardiographically documented sustained wide QRS tachycardia that was reproduced in the electrophysiology laboratory, the diagnoses made when the patients first presented to medical attention were ventricular tachycardias in 17 patients and supraventricular tachycardias in 14 patients. Following electrophysiologic evaluation, 29 were diagnosed as having ventricular tachycardia and two as supraventricular tachycardia. If the diagnoses were made solely on the basis of responses to the bedside questions mentioned earlier, 28 of the 29 patients having a final diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia would have been correctly identified. It is concluded that the use of these two questions can be very helpful in improving the clinical diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia. | lld:pubmed |
