Abstract

The differentiation of wide complex tachycardias (WCTs) into ventricular tachycardia (VT) and supraventricular wide tachycardia (SWCT) via 12-lead ECG (electrocardiogram) interpretation is a crucial yet demanding clinical task. Decades of research have been dedicated to simplifying and improving this differentiation via manual algorithms. Despite such research, the effectiveness of such algorithms still remains limited, primarily due to reliance on user expertise. To combat this limitation, automated algorithms have been created that show promise as alternatives to manual ECG interpretation. However, direct comparison of the methods’ diagnostic performances has not been undertaken. A recent publication (LoCoco et al., 2024) compared the diagnostic performance between traditional manual ECG interpretation approaches (i.e. Brugada, Vereckei aVR, and VT Score) to novel automated wide QRS complex tachycardia differentiation algorithms (i.e. WCT Formula I, WCT Formula II, VT Prediction Model, Solo Model, and Paired Model). Two electrophysiologists independently applied the 3 manual WCT differentiation approaches to 213 ECGs. Simultaneously, computerized data from the same paired WCT with baseline ECGs were processed by the 5 automated WCT differentiation algorithms. Following these analyses, the diagnostic performance of automated algorithms was compared with manual ECG interpretation approaches. In this article, a summary of data components relating to diagnostic performance of the methods tested is presented.
