VENTRICULAR ARRHYTHMIA

ventricular arrhythmia

• Ventricular arrhythmias arise from the following mechanisms:
   Premature ventricular beat (e.g. premature ventricular contraction and ventricular geminy)
   Ventricular escape beat (e.g. ventricular escape beat and rhythm)
   Tachycardia-induced ventricular ectopic beat (e.g. ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation)
• Examples of ventricular arrhythmias are listed below.


nsr
normal sinus rhythm

premature
premature ventricular contraction (PVC)

accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR)

escape
