Table 2. VT score-criteria for the diagnosis of VT.
Criteria | ECG examples | Point |
1. Initial R wave in V1 |
Criterion proposed by Sandler and Marriott.[11] |
1 |
2. Initial r > 40 ms in V1 or V2 |
Criterion proposed by Swanick, et al.[12], and later validated by Kindwall, et al.[13] |
1 |
3. Notched S in V1 |
Criterion proposed by Kindwall, et al.[13] |
1 |
4. Initial R wave in aVR |
Criterion proposed by Vereckei, et al.[8] |
1 |
5. Lead II RWPT ≥ 50 ms |
Criterion proposed by Pava, et al.[9] |
1 |
6. Lack of RS complex in leads V1-V6 | If the QRS complexes from V1-V6 have the following configurations --- > QS, R, qR, Qr, rSR′, Rsr′, this criterion is fulfilled. Criterion proposed by Brugada, et al.[5] | 1 |
7. AV dissociation | 2 |
