Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia means that the appearance of all the beats match each other in each lead of a surface electrocardiogram (ECG). Scar-related monomorphic ventricular tachycardia is the most common type and a frequent cause of death in patients having survived a heart attack, especially if they have weak heart muscle. [12]
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is an inherited genetic disorder that predisposes those affected to potentially life-threatening abnormal heart rhythms or arrhythmias. The arrhythmias seen in CPVT typically occur during exercise or at times of emotional stress, and classically take the form of bidirectional ...
Ventricular tachycardia (vtach) – Tachycardia that originates from within the ventricles. Typically, "vtach" implies monomorphology but it can be an umbrella term for both monomorphic and polymorphic (i.e., torsades de pointes).
Groups of three premature ventricular beats are called triplets and are considered a brief run of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT); if the grouping lasts for more than 30 seconds, it is considered sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT). [14] Accelerated idioventricular rhythm; Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia
Monomorphic refers to all QRS waves in a single lead being similar in shape. Polymorphic means that the QRS change from complex to complex. [19] These terms are used in the description of ventricular tachycardia.
Focal V-tach is where a specific area of the ventricle has abnormal automaticity. The automaticity rate is the frequency at which a cell sends out a signal, so for the pacemaker cells in the SA node the rate is between about 60 and 100 signals per minute, resulting in 60 to 100 beats per minute, let’s just say 60 beats per minute, so one beat ...
People looking to save money for a big trip or financial investment may want to make plans around an "extra" paycheck in their pocket.. Employees who get paid on a biweekly basis (every other week ...
Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia originating from the right ventricular outflow tract Ventricular arrhythmias due to ACM typically arise from the diseased right ventricle. The type of arrhythmia ranges from frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) to ventricular tachycardia (VT) to ventricular fibrillation (VF).
