Abstract
In this article, specific ECG criteria to diagnose epicardial ventricular arrhythmia are reviewed. Four general measurement criteria are used: (1) the pseudo-δ wave, (2) intrinsicoid deflection time, (3) the shortest RS complex, and (4) the QRS complex duration. Additional criteria, including precordial maximal deflection index, precordial pattern break, and analysis of the Q wave pattern in lead I and the inferior leads, were derived in populations of patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy. Algorithms on how to approach patients with suspected epicardial ventricular tachycardia are reviewed. ECG findings suggestive of epicardial accessory pathways in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome are reviewed.
