Criteria for Discriminating Ventricular Tachycardia from SVT with Aberration

It can be especially difficult to distinguish between ventricular tachycardia (VT) and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) with aberrant conduction. Fortunately, if the patient is unstable, the initial treatment for both rhythms is synchronized electrical cardioversion.

Key ECG Characteristics of Mobitz Type I and Type II AVB

Second-degree AVB is divided into two types, Mobitz type I and type II. It is important for the emergency provider to be able to distinguish between these two types of second-degree AVB, as treatment, disposition, and prognosis can be vastly different.
