What are the ECGs features of ventricular tachycardia?
Heart rate 150-250 bpm
QRS-complex most >140ms, commonly >160ms
The tips of the R wave and the T wave often have a different vector; one is positive and the other negative, or the other way around. We call this an R-T discordance.
The main vector is often found in “no-man’s-land"; that is, the electric heart axis is not definable at all.
