Cardiac memory, a surface electrocardiographic clue in the differential diagnosis of ongoing narrow complex tachycardia

Repolarizaiton changes due to cardiac memory are present during orthodromic tachycardia in most patients with previously pre-excited ventricles. This finding can be utilized as a highly specific electrocardiographic clue in the differential diagnosis of narrow complex tachicardia, and may influence...

Zusammenfassung:Repolarizaiton changes due to cardiac memory are present during orthodromic tachycardia in most patients with previously pre-excited ventricles. This finding can be utilized as a highly specific electrocardiographic clue in the differential diagnosis of narrow complex tachicardia, and may influence immediate patient management.
