Table 2. VT score-criteria for the diagnosis of VT.

Criteria ECG examples Point
1. Initial R wave in V1 Inline graphic
Criterion proposed by Sandler and Marriott.[11]
1
2. Initial r > 40 ms in V1 or V2 Inline graphic
Criterion proposed by Swanick, et al.[12], and later validated by Kindwall, et al.[13]
1
3. Notched S in V1 Inline graphic
Criterion proposed by Kindwall, et al.[13]
1
4. Initial R wave in aVR Inline graphic
Criterion proposed by Vereckei, et al.[8]
1
5. Lead II RWPT ≥ 50 ms Inline graphic
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
