❓ Active recall questions:
1. What is the differential diagnoses of wide complex tachycardia?
2. What is Ashman’s phenomenon?
3. Is it really wide complex tachycardia?
4. Is it regular or irregular?
5. Look for P waves and QRS relationship - AV dissociation, check number of P waves and QRS complex, can you march the P waves thru QRS?
6. What are fusion beats and capture beats?
