Electrical Cardioversion for Wide Complex Tachycardia

We present a case of electrical cardioversion used to treat a hemodynamically unstable wide complex tachycardia (WCT). The patient returned to normal sinus rhythm after being cardioverted with 100 joules (J) on the first attempt. He was admitted to the hospital for cardiac evaluation and ultimately...

description We present a case of electrical cardioversion used to treat a hemodynamically unstable wide complex tachycardia (WCT). The patient returned to normal sinus rhythm after being cardioverted with 100 joules (J) on the first attempt. He was admitted to the hospital for cardiac evaluation and ultimately discharged home on flecainide and nebivolol after a negative cardiac workup.
