Sudden cardiac arrest: Case 6
ECG
1
. The initial rhythm is
atrial fibrillation
. The fifth beat is a ventricular premature beat. A
ventricular tachycardia (VT)
emerges. As evident, ventricular tachycardia may appear more polymorphic in one lead (the upper lead).
ECG 2
. Although the signal in the upper lead appears very disorganized, there are visible QRS complexes. The signal in the lower lead shows that the rhythm is a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (or even flutter).
ECG 3
. Continued polymorphic ventricular tachycardia / flutter.
ECG 4
. Continued polymorphic ventricular tachycardia / flutter.
