Does QRS morphology differ between post-myocardial infarction ventricular tachycardia and idiopathic ventricular tachycardia?
Post-MI VT and idiopathic VT exhibit distinct ECG characteristics, including differences in QRS width, amplitude, and morphology, which may aid in differentiating the origin of VT.
Coumel et al. (1984) studied this question.
