This Video discusses a quick approach to identify tachyarrhythmias in the form of algorithm with detailed discussion on 12 EKGs of different arrhythmias. • Step 1: Tachycardias are broadly categorized based upon the width of the QRS complex on the EKG which most important first step while approaching any tachycardia. • A narrow QRS complex means less than 120 milliseconds reflects rapid activation of the ventricles via the normal His-Purkinje system, which in turn suggests that the arrhythmia originates above or within the AV node. • A widened QRS complex meaning more than 120 milliseconds are 3 boxes occurs when ventricular activation is abnormally slow if the origin of arrhythmia is below the AV node or within His-Purkinje system or involves accessory pathway resulting in direct activation of ventricular myocardium. • Step 2: In the next step, we need to determine the rhythm, whether it is regular or irregular. • #tachycardia #Tachyarrhythmia #ecg #ekg #afib #svt #cardiology #cardiac #cardio
