title: [The student diagnostic vignette. Electrocardiographical criteria for the diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia].
abstract: Recording of a regular wide QRS tachycardia is often source of panic and anxiety for the young clinician who has to make the differential diagnosis between ventricular tachycardia and supraventricular tachycardia with aberration associated with fundamentally different vital prognosis. Most of the time, a rigorous approach and a systematic analysis of the electrocardiogram associated with clinical examination allow to obtain the correct diagnosis.
