Algorithm (Brugada Criteria)

  • Only for regular rhythms
  • Only for treatment decision if pt is stable
  • Assume V-tach until proven otherwise
  1. Absence of an RS complex in all precordial leads?
    1. If yes then VT
    2. If no then continue
  2. R to S interval >100ms in one precordial lead?
    1. If yes then VT
    2. If no then continue
  3. AV dissociation
    1. If yes then VT
    2. If no then continue
  4. Morphology criteria for VT present both in V1-2 and V6?
    1. If yes then VT
    2. If no then possibly SVT
