DOCUMENTED HISTORY

Clinical history not documented in this image source.

De-identified clinical ECG tracing
Open image ↗

Original waveform retained; quiz cropping only removes off-tracing interpretation or a row containing an answer label. Some sources are rhythm strips rather than a full 12-lead ECG.

Look for

Where to look. Compare the repeated broad QRS complexes across leads and the long strip.

The source identifies ventricular tachycardia. QRS complexes are rapid, broad and repetitive. No capture beat is required on this image; QRS width alone does not prove VT.

The source diagnosis is retained; no additional clinical cause is inferred.
