10.5.11 Tenth Refinement: Assess Arrhythmias
This is the final refinement of the ECG interpretation of the system. In this refine-
ment, we introduce different kinds of tachyarrhythmias and give the protocols for
assessment as follows:
•
Narrow complex tachycardia: Gives the differential diagnosis of narrow QRS
complex tachycardia.
•
Wide complex tachycardia: Gives the differential diagnosis of wide QRS complex
tachycardia.
