Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) ECG Review 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. ...
IndicationsAny VT (ventricular tachycardia), including torsade de pointes (long QT syndrome). Digitalis induced VT. Ventricular fibrillation (VF). Mechanism of actionClass I-B antiarrhythmic. Receptor targetsINa ECG effectsQTc can slightly shorten ...

Risk stratification for arrhythmic events in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia: role of programmed ... This study investigated prediction of arrhythmic events by the signal-averaged electrocardiogram (ECG) and programmed stimulation in patients with non...
(Irregular Wide Complex Tachycardia) Figure 26REGULARITY There is no regularity. RATE The atrial rate cannot be determined. Ventricular rate is usually between 150 and 250 beats per minute. P WAVE There are no P waves present. PR INTERVAL There are no PR intervals present. QRS COMPLEX The ven...
Of the post-infarction patients: 62 presented with ventricular tachycardia, 23 with ventricular fibrillation, while 44 had no clinically relevant arrhythmias. The ECG signals were recorded in three orthogonal X, Y, Z leads and averaged using cross-correlation method. Spectral analysis was performed ...
Your heart's electrical activity can be seen with an EKG (also termed ECG or electrocardiogram). EKGs are tests that provide important information to the physician about the heart rhythm, damage to the heart, or a heart attack, and may provide several other important pieces of information or...
Chest pain and/or tachycardia How do the EKG patterns differ for AFib and VFib? The EKG patterns in most cases are diagnostic for AFib and/or VFib because of the characteristic waveforms each produces. Normal ECG wave strip pattern Enlarged P, QRS Complex, and T wave in a normal ECG Wav...
The ECG may reveal ventricular and occasionally atrial arrhythmias. The most common appears to be an accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIR). The terminology for this arrhythmia is still in dispute. Other terms for this ventricular rhythm are slow ventricular tachycardia, fast idioventricular ...
