Ventricular tachycardia refers to a wide QRS complex heart rhythm — that is, a QRS duration beyond 120 milliseconds — originating in the ventricles at a rate of greater than 100 beats per minute. This ...

Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are extra heartbeats originating from the heart’s lower chambers, potentially causing palpitations or fluttering sensations. While occasional PVCs are common, ...

Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is an abnormal heart rhythm where the bottom chambers of your heart beat too quickly. People with severe cases may experience sudden cardiac arrest. Conditions that ...

Several points of convincing evidence in the upper strip indicate that the rhythm is VT. First, the beginning of the wide QRS tachycardia near the end of the strip is not preceded by a P wave, proving ...

This ECG meets two criteria for ventricular tachycardia. AV dissociation appears to be present. Examine the rhythm strip in lead V1 and intermittently a P wave will correspond just prior to the QRS ...

For ventricular tachycardia (VT), catheter ablation is often seen as an option of last resort, however, some are questioning whether there has been too much emphasis on antiarrhythmic medication. In ...
