This chapter looks at the diagnosis and management of tachycardias, including both narrow complex tachycardias and broad complex tachycardias. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia, affecting 1–2% of the general population (5–15% of those over 80 years). There have been a number of developments in arrhythmia care over the last few years in particular in relation to AF and there are now more specialist arrhythmia nurses and nurse-led arrhythmia services than before. AF, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death are priority areas of NHS improvement. Recent guidelines for the management of tachycardias are discussed including pharmacological measure, cardioversion, and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) insertion.

This chapter looks at the diagnosis and management of tachycardias, including both narrow complex tachycardias and broad complex tachycardias. Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained arrhythmia, affecting about a million people in the UK. Tachyarrhythmias may be as a result of structural, acquired, congenital, or inherited cardiac conditions. Arrhythmia care continues to be an important priority in particular in relation to the prevention of sudden cardiac death and complications such as stroke and heart failure.

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a disease characterised as left ventricular (LV) or biventricular dilatation with impaired systolic function. Regardless of underlying cause patients with DCM have a propensity to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) implantation for these patients results in significant reduction of sudden cardiac death [1-3]. ICD devices may be limited by right ventricle (RV) sensing dysfunction with low RV sensing amplitude. We present a clinical case of patient with DCM, implanted ICD and low R wave sensing on RV lead.
