Abstract

Accurate wide QRS complex tachycardia (WCT) differentiation into either ventricular tachycardia or supraventricular wide complex tachycardia using 12‑lead electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation is essential for diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic reasons. There is an ever-expanding variety of WCT differentiation methods and criteria available to clinicians. However, only a few make use of the diagnostic value of comparing the ECG during WCT to that of the patient's baseline ECG. Therefore, we highlight the conceptual rationale and scientific literature supporting the diagnostic value of WCT and baseline ECG comparison.
