Ventricular Arrhythmia

A Ventricular Arrhythmia is an cardiac arrhythmia where the electrical stimulus that travels across the ventricles is being disturbed in such a way that the muscles can’t contract anymore.

  • Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), sometimes called ventricular extra beats (VEBs)
    • Premature ventricular beats occurring after every normal beat are termed “ventricular bigeminy"
    • PVCs that occur at intervals of 2 normal beats to 1 PVC are termed "PVCs in trigeminy"
    • Three premature ventricular grouped together is termed a "run of PVCs"; in general, runs lasting longer than three beats are referred to as ventricular tachycardia
