VT Or Not VT
2026-06-24 19:00 - 20:30 UTC | Online Webinar
Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) is a cardiac arrythmia that is more commonly encountered in patients with myocardial infarction and heart failure. It is classified as a Broad Complex Tachycardia (BCT) i.e. the heart rate is greater than 100 beats per minute and the QRS complexes on the ECG are prolonged in duration. However, while VT is a serious, and potentially life-threatening, cardiac arrythmia it is not the only BCT that we encounter. This webinar will help you differentiate between VT and other less serious broad complex tachycardias.
