@Ablationist @SchakrabartiEP@The_Nanashi_O We viewed cool down slowly after giving a beta blocker and anxiety medication over a period of 30 minutes it came down from 155 to 95
@DidlakeDW@SchakrabartiEP@The_Nanashi_O@adribaran I'm curious if it is respiratory if it's due to unmanaged asthma! They mentioned not taking inhalers for severe asthma due to tachycardia cause by steroids.
Is calculating a QTc on a heart rate of 140+ accurate or effective? Can you accurately tell if someone is prolonged on a resting ECG of 140+?
Thoughts?

@The_Nanashi_O@SchakrabartiEP There's a ton of t on p so I understand π I was thinking the same at first. I got a colleague to calculate as well we got 389
@The_Nanashi_O@SchakrabartiEP It is very hard to calculate QT at such fast heart rates, when calculated by hand QT is about 420. Comparing to other ECGs & holters qt was normal.

DXs? NSTEMI?
