In memory of tachycardia: A wide complex tachycardia in a young male.

Project description:We present a case of a 24-year-old male with palpitations and a wide complex tachycardia. Baseline electrocardiogram (ECG) after termination of tachycardia demonstrates a normal rhythm but with inferior/anterolateral T-wave inversions (TWIs). Electrophysiologic study confirmed the diagnosis of posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia successfully terminated by anatomic ablation of the left posterior fascicle. TWIs on the patient's baseline ECG were consistent with cardiac memory.

Wide Complex Tachycardia and Flecainide: A Dangerous Couple.

Project description:Differential diagnosis of wide complex tachycardia in patients taking anti-arrhythmic can be challenging. Conventional ECG diagnostic criteria are poorly specific and should be applied with caution. Patients who develop life-threatening arrhythmias after flecainide infusion should be screened for Brugada Syndrome, especially if concomitant sinus node dysfunction is present.

Automated differentiation of wide QRS complex tachycardia using QRS complex polarity.

Project description:BackgroundWide QRS complex tachycardia (WCT) differentiation into ventricular tachycardia (VT) and supraventricular wide complex tachycardia (SWCT) remains challenging despite numerous 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) criteria and algorithms. Automated solutions leveraging computerized ECG interpretation (CEI) measurements and engineered features offer practical ways to improve diagnostic accuracy. We propose automated algorithms based on (i) WCT QRS polarity direction (WCT Polarity Code [WCT-PC]) and (ii) QRS polarity shifts between WCT and baseline ECGs (QRS Polarity Shift [QRS-PS]).MethodsIn a three-part study, we derive and validate machine learning (ML) models-logistic regression (LR), artificial neural network (ANN), Random Forests (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and ensemble learning (EL)-using engineered (WCT-PC and QRS-PS) and previously established WCT differentiation features. Part 1 uses WCT ECG measurements alone, Part 2 pairs WCT and baseline ECG features, and Part 3 combines all features used in Parts 1 and 2 RESULTS: Among 235 WCT patients (158 SWCT, 77 VT), 103 had gold standard diagnoses. Part 1 models achieved AUCs of 0.86-0.88 using WCT ECG features alone. Part 2 improved accuracy with paired ECGs (AUCs 0.90-0.93). Part 3 showed variable results (AUC 0.72-0.93), with RF and SVM performing best.ConclusionsIncorporating engineered parameters related to QRS polarity direction and shifts can yield effective WCT differentiation, presenting a promising approach for automated CEI algorithms.

Wide complex tachycardia discrimination tool improves physicians' diagnostic accuracy.

Project description:BackgroundTimely and accurate discrimination of wide complex tachycardias (WCTs) into ventricular tachycardia (VT) or supraventricular WCT (SWCT) is critically important. Previously we developed and validated an automated VT Prediction Model that provides a VT probability estimate using the paired WCT and baseline 12-lead ECGs. Whether this model improves physicians' diagnostic accuracy has not been evaluated.ObjectiveWe sought to determine whether the VT Prediction Model improves physicians' WCT differentiation accuracy.MethodsOver four consecutive days, nine physicians independently interpreted fifty WCT ECGs (25 VTs and 25 SWCTs confirmed by electrophysiological study) as either VT or SWCT. Day 1 used the WCT ECG only, Day 2 used the WCT and baseline ECG, Day 3 used the WCT ECG and the VT Prediction Model's estimation of VT probability, and Day 4 used the WCT ECG, baseline ECG, and the VT Prediction Model's estimation of VT probability.ResultsInclusion of the VT Prediction Model data increased diagnostic accuracy versus the WCT ECG alone (Day 3: 84.2% vs. Day 1: 68.7%, p 0.009) and WCT and baseline ECGs together (Day 3: 84.2% vs. Day 2: 76.4%, p 0.003). There was no further improvement of accuracy with addition of the baseline ECG comparison to the VT Prediction Model (Day 3: 84.2% vs. Day 4: 84.0%, p 0.928). Overall sensitivity (Day 3: 78.2% vs. Day 1: 67.6%, p 0.005) and specificity (Day 3: 90.2% vs. Day 1: 69.8%, p 0.016) for VT were superior after the addition of the VT Prediction Model.ConclusionThe VT Prediction Model improves physician ECG diagnostic accuracy for discriminating WCTs.

The Wide Complex Tachycardia Formula: Derivation and validation data.

Project description:A recent publication (May et al., 2019) introduced a novel means (i.e. WCT Formula) to automatically distinguish ventricular tachycardia and supraventricular wide complex tachycardia using modern-day computerized electrocardiogram software measurements. In this article, a summary of data components relating to the derivation and validation of the WCT Formula is presented.

Automatic wide complex tachycardia differentiation using mathematically synthesized vectorcardiogram signals.

Project description:BackgroundAutomated wide complex tachycardia (WCT) differentiation into ventricular tachycardia (VT) and supraventricular wide complex tachycardia (SWCT) may be accomplished using novel calculations that quantify the extent of mean electrical vector changes between the WCT and baseline electrocardiogram (ECG). At present, it is unknown whether quantifying mean electrical vector changes within three orthogonal vectorcardiogram (VCG) leads (X, Y, and Z leads) can improve automated VT and SWCT classification.MethodsA derivation cohort of paired WCT and baseline ECGs was used to derive five logistic regression models: (i) one novel WCT differentiation model (i.e., VCG Model), (ii) three previously developed WCT differentiation models (i.e., WCT Formula, VT Prediction Model, and WCT Formula II), and (iii) one "all-inclusive" model (i.e., Hybrid Model). A separate validation cohort of paired WCT and baseline ECGs was used to trial and compare each model's performance.ResultsThe VCG Model, composed of WCT QRS duration, baseline QRS duration, absolute change in QRS duration, X-lead QRS amplitude change, Y-lead QRS amplitude change, and Z-lead QRS amplitude change, demonstrated effective WCT differentiation (area under the curve [AUC] 0.94) for the derivation cohort. For the validation cohort, the diagnostic performance of the VCG Model (AUC 0.94) was similar to that achieved by the WCT Formula (AUC 0.95), VT Prediction Model (AUC 0.91), WCT Formula II (AUC 0.94), and Hybrid Model (AUC 0.95).ConclusionCustom calculations derived from mathematically synthesized VCG signals may be used to formulate an effective means to differentiate WCTs automatically.
