Look closely for independent P waves "marching through" the rapid QRS complexes. Capturing a fusion beat (a hybrid QRS resulting from a sinus impulse and ventricular impulse meeting) or a capture beat (a normal sinus QRS breaking through the tachycardia) is diagnostic of VT.
The ECG Academy Level 2 curriculum transitions away from simple rate and rhythm identification. It challenges your ability to recognize subtle physiological anomalies, axis deviations, and structural abnormalities. The exam focuses heavily on: Vector calculus and axis calculation. Intraventricular conduction delays (IVCDs). Ischemia, injury, and infarction localization. Complex supraventricular and ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Pacemaker function and malfunction troubleshooting. Core Competencies Tested on the Exam
When Left Axis Deviation (LAD) or Right Axis Deviation (RAD) cannot be explained by hypertrophy or infarction, look for fascicular blocks: Ecg Academy Level 2 Final Exam Answers
