A 70 yr old man came to ER with palpitation. Symptoms started 45 mins prior to his arrival in ER. No dizzi, lightheadedness, or chest discomfort. Prev H/O MI 1 yr back, AFib, and CABG. On medications--aspirin, betaloc, warfarin, and ACE-I. An EKG was taken which showed wide complex tachy with a rate of 174 bpm. Which of the following confirms that this rhythm is VT? (a) Syncope (b) Cannon 'a' waves in JVP (c) Hypotension (d) An odd looking EKG with similar QRS complex pattern (e) Irregular rhythm Start discussing. Good luck! |
