(FIT)-Module 5 Workshop 9: Arrhythmia Case Studies (Putting It All Together for the Boards)-Miller Case 1 Answer

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript discusses re-entrant tachycardia related to the left posterior fascicle, characterized by a distinctive ECG pattern. Unlike SVT, the VT pattern shows an almost aberrant complex in V1 with a different RS ratio in V6. The condition is resistant to adenosine but responds to verapamil. The lack of a Q wave in V1 and its presence in lead 1 helps differentiate it from papillary muscle tachycardia. Historically, some cases were misinterpreted as resistant SVT due to reliance on adenosine as treatment, which the disorder does not typically respond to.
