Disease Name Causes ECG Characteristics ECG view
Ventricular tachycardia[1][2][3][4][5]
  • Ventricular tachycardia originates from a ventricular focus.
  • Lasts more than 30 seconds.
  • Broad QRS complexes: rate of >90 BPM.
Ventricular fibrillation[6][7][8][9]
  • Poorly identifiable QRS complexes and absent P waves
  • The heart rate is >300 BPM
  • Rhythm is irregular
Asystole[10][11]
  • There is no electrical activity in the asystole
Pulseless electrical activity[12][13]
  • Hypovolemia
  • Hypoxia
  • Hydrogen ions (Acidosis)
  • Hypothermia
  • Electrolyte disturbances
  • Hypoglycemia
  • Tablets or Toxins (Drug overdose) such as beta blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, or calcium channel blockers
  • Tamponade
  • Tension pneumothorax
  • Thrombosis (Myocardial infarction)
  • Thrombosis (Pulmonary embolism)
  • Trauma (Hypovolemia from blood loss)
  • Several ppattern are possible including:
    • Normal sinus rhythm
    • Sinus tachycardia, with discernible P waves and QRS complexes
    • Bradycardia, with or without P waves
Torsade de Pointes[14][15][16]
  1. Paroxysms of VT with irregular RR intervals.
  2. A ventricular rate between 200 and 250 beats per minute.
  3. Two or more cycles of QRS complexes with alternating polarity.
  4. Changing amplitude of the QRS complexes in each cycle in a sinusoidal fashion.
  5. Prolongation of the QT interval.
  6. Is often initiated by a PVC with a long coupling interval, R on T phenomenon.
  7. There are usually 5 to 20 complexes in each cycle.
