Podcast 635: Wide Complex Tachycardias

Podcast 635: Wide Complex Tachycardias

Contributor: Peter Bakes, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Two main differentials for wide complex tachycardia (WCT) include ventricular tachycardia (most common) and supraventricular tachycardia with aberrancy
  • Brugada syndrome and Wolff-Parkinson White are potential causes
  • Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a rare congenital cause of WCT that should be considered in younger patients presenting with WCT
