Rhythm Recognition & 12-Lead ECG

Wide-Complex Tachycardias · L1

How this exercise works

Match rhythm descriptions or ECG findings to the correct interpretation. Look for rate, regularity, P waves, QRS width, and ST-segment changes for STEMI clues.

Fundamental concept

Matching rate, regularity, waveforms, and ST-segment patterns to rhythm diagnoses and STEMI localization clues.

Scenario

Hemodynamically diverse tachycardia presentations. Match monitor findings to diagnosis.

Match each finding to the rhythm or diagnosis.

Regular wide QRS 160/min, BP 74/40, history of CAD

Irregular wide QRS, no P waves, rate ~110/min

Twisting QRS around baseline, QT prolonged, self-terminating

Regular narrow QRS 220/min, BP 118/70, sudden onset
