VT versus SVT: It’s as easy as ABCDE
The long list of VT "suggestive" ECG features is difficult to recall and apply in real time. Simple ABCDE approach to this common dilemma

Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHC)
Yamaguchi syndrome: Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHC) Hypertrophic non-obstructive cardiomyopathy with giant negative T waves
Osborn Wave (J Wave)
The Osborn wave (J wave) is a positive deflection at the J point (negative in aVR and V1). It is usually most prominent in the precordial leads and most commonly associated with hypothermia.
Atrial fibrillation/flutter in pre-excitation
In patients with AF and pre-excitation, the presence of an accessory pathway allows for rapid AV conduction, with a risk of degeneration into VT and VF
Atrioventricular Re-entry Tachycardia (AVRT)
Tachyarrhythmia that occurs in patients with accessory pathways, due to formation of a re-entry circuit between the AV node and accessory pathway
De Winter T Wave
First reported by de Winter in 2008, the de Winter ECG pattern is an anterior STEMI equivalent that presents without obvious ST segment elevation
ECG Lead positioning
ECG lead positioning. V4R, right sided ECG, Lewis lead, 3-lead, 5-lead, 12-lead ECG and electrode placement on chest and limbs

Paediatric ECG: Stepwise approach
Stepwise assessment of the paediatric ECG, including rhythm, rate, axis, intervals, ST segments and Q/P/T/U waves
Paediatric ECG lead placement
A review of the paediatric ECG lead placement, in particular the use of V4R in children under five years of age
