Ventricular tachycardia (V-tach or VT) is a cardiovascular disorder in which fast heart rate occurs in the ventricles of the heart. [3] Although a few seconds of VT may not result in permanent problems, longer periods are dangerous; and multiple episodes over a short period of time are referred to as an electrical storm.
Ashman phenomenon, also known as Ashman beats, describes a particular type of wide QRS complex that is typically, but not always seen in atrial fibrillation.It is a type of cardiac aberrancy and it is more often misinterpreted as a premature ventricular complex.
Ventricular tachycardia (VT or V-tach) is a potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia that originates in the ventricles. It is usually a regular, wide complex tachycardia with a rate between 120 and 250 beats per minute.
Cardiac aberrancy is a type of disruption in the shape of the electrocardiogram signal, representing abnormal activation of the ventricular heart muscle via the electrical conduction system of the heart. Normal activation utilizes the bundle of His and Purkinje fibers to produce a narrow (QRS) electrical signal.
Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome (WPWS) is a disorder due to a specific type of problem with the electrical system of the heart involving an accessory pathway able to conduct electrical current between the atria and the ventricles, thus bypassing the atrioventricular node.
OMG—Rambo is huge! I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only person who was surprised by this big baby's massive size. Commenters had a field day expressing their shock and joy at such a massive ...
Precordial thump is a medical procedure used in the treatment of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia under certain conditions. The procedure has a very low success rate, but may be used in those with witnessed, monitored onset of one of the "shockable" cardiac rhythms if a defibrillator is not immediately available.
