Pseudo-ventricular tachycardia—Diagnostic enigma in the emergency department: A case report

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a type of broad complex tachycardia originating from a focus in the ventricle. It is one of the four important rhythms which can lead to cardiac arrest. Accurate and timely diagnosis of true VT is the cornerstone for proper management in the emergency department (ED). We present an interesting case of an electrocardiographic artifact mimicking VT, which led to a diagnostic dilemma in the ED.
