- Ventricular tachycardia (V-tach, often abbreviated VT) refers to a rhythm that arises from the ventricles causing the heart to beat at a rate faster than 100 beats per minute. The ventricular rate is usually above 120 beats/min and may exceed 250 beats/min.

Ventricular Tachycardia Ventricular tachycardia is a pulse of more than 100 beats per minute with at least three irregular heartbeats in a row. It is caused by a malfunction in the heart’s electrical system. Your heart rate is controlled by electrical impulses that trigger each contraction and determine the rhythm of the heart.

Cardiac physiology As the ventricular systole begins, pressure within the ventricle rises and the AV valve closes producing the 'first heart sound' (S1). The semilunar valves remain closed. The contracting ventricles become closed chambers again and this phase is termed as isovolumic contraction.

Background Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is caused by an ectopic cardiac pacemaker located in the ventricle. PVCs are characterized by premature and bizarrely shaped QRS complexes usually wider than 120 msec on with the width of the electrocardiogram (ECG). These complexes are not preceded by a P wave, and the T wave is usually large, and its direction is opposite the major deflection of the QRS.

Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs) PVCs are extra electrical impulses arising from one of the cardiac ventricles, usually the left ventricle. They are easily detected on an EKG. Sometimes the presence of PVCs indicates an inherent electrical instability in the heart, and therefore indicates an increased risk of sudden death.

Arrhythmias Arrhythmias are characterized by their site of origin: the atria or the ventricles. Supraventricular arrhythmias occur in the upper areas of the heart and are less serious than ventricular arrhythmias. Ventricular fibrillation is the most serious arrhythmia and is fatal unless medical help is immediate. Causes and symptoms

- Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs, PVC) are premature heartbeats originating from the ventricles of the heart. Premature ventricular contractions are premature because they occur before the regular heartbeat. The heart has four chambers. The upper two chambers are the atria, and the lower two chambers are the ventricles.

What determines the rhythm of your heart? If the heart can't get enough blood pumping through the body, the body -- and especially the brain -- suffers from lack of oxygen. An artificial pacemaker sends out electrical impulses to mimic the heart's natural pacemaker, the sinoatrial node (SA node), located in the right atrium.hen the SA node sends out an electrical impulse, the first place it goes is to the AV node. While the SA node sets the rhythm of your pulse, the AV node sets the rhythm of your heart contractions. It delays the signal on its way to the ventricle, giving the atrium time to contract first.

- (ə-rĭ'mē-ə) An abnormal rhythm of the heart, often detectable on an electrocardiogram. Electrical impulses in the heart normally originate in the sinoatrial node of the right atrium during diastole and are transmitted through the atrioventricular node to the ventricles, causing the muscle contraction that usually occurs during systole.

- B, is the right sinus, or auricle, into which the returned blood is poured. The extrasystole may have its origin in either the auricle or the ventricle. The auricle may contract twice as often as the ventricle, and the pulse may be regular or markedly irregular.

- Ventricular Ectopic Beats. The most common type of ventricular ectopic beat is premature, causing ventricular contraction before the underlying rhythm would normally depolarise the ventricles. The resultant heartbeat morphology on the ECG often appears wider and taller than that seen with the underlying rhythm.

Overview Ventricular tachycardia is a heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia) caused by abnormal electrical signals in the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles). Your heart rate is regulated by electrical signals sent across heart tissues.

In Depth: Wide Complex Tachycardia Four out of five patients with wide complex tachycardia will have ventricular tachycardia. Ventricular tachycardia is, as the name implies, a rhythm that originates in the ventricles. Supraventricular rhythms, on the other hand, originate in the atria and requires atrial input in order to sustain the rhythm.

Junctional Rhythm Cardiac rhythms arising from the atrioventricular (AV) junction occur as an automatic tachycardia or as an escape mechanism during periods of significant bradycardia with rates slower than the intrinsic junctional pacemaker.

Chapter III Arrhythmia Determination Step III: Determine the Ventricular Rhythm The rhythm is determined by comparing the R-R intervals to each other using ECG calipers or, if calipers are not available, a pencil and paper. First, an R-R interval (preferably one located on the left side of the ECG strip for the sake of convenience) is measured.

Bradycardia A ventricular bradycardia, also known as ventricular escape rhythm or idioventricular rhythm, is a heart rate of less than 50 bpm. This is a safety mechanism when there is lack of electrical impulse or stimuli from the atrium.

Electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG) Interpretation The first heart sound (lubb) occurs during ventricular contraction when the mitral valve is closing (beginning of systole), and the second heart sound (dupp) occurs during ventricular relaxation when the aortic valve is closing (beginning of diastole).

What determines the rhythm of your heart? There are actually two pacemakers. The SA node is the primary; the atrioventricular node (AV node), located in a bundle of tissues on the border between the right atrium and the right ventricle, is the secondary.hen the SA node sends out an electrical impulse, the first place it goes is to the AV node. While the SA node sets the rhythm of your pulse, the AV node sets the rhythm of your heart contractions. It delays the signal on its way to the ventricle, giving the atrium time to contract first.

- Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are heartbeats that occur earlier than they should. These early beats briefly interrupt the heart 's rhythm. A PVC may feel like a skipped heartbeat or a flutter. PVCs are the most common type of change in heart rhythm. They are common in children and teens as well as in adults.

- Lab #10: Cardiovascular Physiology p.3 The Cardiac Cycle and Heart Sounds The electrical signals recorded on an ECG are caused by intermittent periods where the myocardium of the heart undergoes action potentials. These action potentials trigger the myocardium of the ventricles to contract for a period of time and then relax. The resultant

Human Physiology/Print Version The cardiac cycle refers to a complete heartbeat from its generation to the beginning of the next beat, and so includes the diastole, the systole, and the intervening pause. The frequency of the cardiac cycle is described by the heart rate, which is typically expressed as beats per minute.Each beat of the heart involves five major stages. The first two stages, often considered together as the ventricular filling stage, involve the movement of blood from the atria into the ventricles.entricular diastole is when the ventricles are relaxing, while atrial diastole is when the atria are relaxing. Together they are known as complete cardiac diastole. During ventricular diastole, the pressure in the (left and right) ventricles drops from the peak that it reaches in systole.
