Ashman beats are described as wide complex QRS complexes that follow a short R-R interval preceded by a long R-R interval. [3] This short QRS complex typically has a right bundle branch block morphology and represents an aberrantly conducted complex that originates above the AV node, rather than a complex that originates in either the right or left ventricle.
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.
In the context of atrial fibrillation, the Ashman phenomenon is a form of aberrancy. Aberrancy is due to prematurity in which part of the conduction system is still refractory and cannot conduct the premature depolarization. This effect can sometimes be seen in the setting of a faster heart rate (tachycardia) and so is termed "rate-related ...
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.
Survival among those with V-fib or V-tach is 15 to 23%. [146] Women are more likely to survive cardiac arrest and leave the hospital than men. [ 147 ] Hypoxic ischemic brain injury is a concerning outcome for people suffering a cardiac arrest. [ 148 ]
Atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT), or atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia, is a type of heart arrhythmia with an abnormally fast rhythm (tachychardia); it is classified as a type of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).
