I know SVT is a large pool of all kind include the junctional tachycardia.
No P wave: not sinus tachycardiaof course
1. Junctional tachycardia but no retrograde P wave? so is it typical ?
2. Why is the R in aVr prominent? Because of the retrograde direction of depolarization?
3. I remember reading in one of ECG book that Canon A wave in SVT type are not ususlly typical (not like VT) so why is it happen in this case. The reason I am fascinating beacuse I
know what canon A wave results from ..(Thank you to Paul for recognize my effort) WHy is it happen in this case junctional tachycardia (You don't usally see it in SVT if you notice the neck of the patients often)
Thanks for your opinion

Chill out all we are on the same side :-). It is important to label things correctly because when you for example say VT everyone knows what you mean, can draw it and knows the clinical implications Paul PMMD
This is SVT and that's all. I don't know why you are negotiating and wasting your time?

This is a woman come in ewith plapitation and normal BP. Canon A wave was seen. No P wave can be seen.Rate is less than 150. R wave in Avr lead. No retrograde P wve can be seen too. I think is is junbctional tach..what do you guys think?

Just to clarify, SVT is an umbrella term for all non-ventricular tachycardias. So the right question is, "What kind of SVT is this?" Tom Sent from my iPhone...
Only because I know someone has the answer...? Where did the rate of 150 come to be the determinant between "SVT" and non?? Why don't all monitors allow the...
That is a horrible EMS myth, Jon. I've reviewed cases where Adenocard was given to sinus tachycardia, simply because it was 160 bpm and "couldn't have been...
Tom: My point is clarified here and in the other posts.? SVT is a largely non-specific term (vs VT) for rhythms with a rate at or above 150, when, really,...
a few things, using heart rate alone is not a good way to make an ecg dx, think about a "nornal" stress test, a 20y old would be expected to hit 200bpm (sinus)...
What kind of SVT is it, Haval Lutfalla? Sinus tachycardia? AF w/RVR? AVNRT? AVRT? Junctional tach? Calling it SVT only points toward a group of abnormal heart...

I will come out of "lurker mode" and give my two cents on this one. I would go with junctional tach for a couple of reasons. First, the rate is such that if P...
Robert just to chime in the heart rate thing. 220 - age * 0.85 is the normal "expected" heart rate for someone during exercise. I've seen it be much lower (if...

"Once you accept that sinus tachycardia is a form of SVT, this view is no longer tenable." This of course may be semantics and the opinions of various people,...
Yes, it does usually cause a distortion of some kind in the preceding T-wave, but if they're all identical (1:1 relationship to the QRS/T) then it's hard to...
Tom- It is hard to get people to understand that, it is far easier to accept the easy term than to read the fine print. ===================================== ...
