Abstract

Wide complex tachycardia may represent a challenge for correct interpretation of standard electrocardiogram, which is crucial for proper patient management. For this reason, algorithms based on electrocardiographic criteria have been developed to guide interpretation in a step-by-step approach. Despite their greater accuracy, some cases of wide QRS complex tachycardia are a challenge. Some peculiar forms of ventricular tachycardia, and complex supraventricular substrate or particular clinical condition, may originate a challenging electrocardiographic pattern. In this article, a series of peculiar cases of wide QRS complex tachycardia is presented as paradigm of how important a comprehensive clinical approach is in these patients.
