Background: Wide QRS complex tachycardia (WCT) differentiation into ventricular tachycardia (VT) and supraventricular wide complex tachycardia (SWCT) remains challenging despite numerous 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) criteria and algorithms. Automated solutions leveraging computerized ECG interpretation (CEI) measurements and engineered features offer practical ways to improve diagnostic accuracy. We propose automated algorithms based on (i) WCT QRS polarity direction (WCT Polarity Code [WCT-PC]) and (ii) QRS polarity shifts between WCT and baseline ECGs (QRS Polarity Shift [QRS-PS]).

Case Presentation: A 13-month-old child with past medical history of congenital adrenal insufficiency presented to the emergency department with vomiting and diarrhea. Initially the child was noticed to have bradycardia with normal blood pressure. An electrocardiogram (ECG) showed tall T waves, broad QRS complex, and widened PR interval suggestive of severe hyperkalemia.
