Wide Complex Tachycardia

Wide-complex tachycardia is a type of fast heart rhythm identified by the shape of the heart's electrical signals recorded in specialized studies. It reflects that the rapid beats originate or are conducted in a particular way within the heart muscle.

What can be felt? Intense palpitations, a sensation that the heart is beating very fast, dizziness, or shortness of breath are complaints that some people describe.

When to see a doctor? If sudden episodes of rapid heartbeats appear, especially accompanied by discomfort, a timely evaluation is important.

Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist evaluates this type of rhythm disturbance, and in children the pediatric cardiologist handles the study. Talking with one of them allows you to understand the origin of the problem and the appropriate follow-up for each person.
