MeSH Heading: Tachycardia, Ventricular
Tree Number(s): C14.280.067.845.940; C14.280.123.875.940; C23.550.073.845.940
Unique ID: D017180
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017180
Annotation: do not confuse with TACHYCARDIA, SUPRAVENTRICULAR which originates above the bundle of His
Scope Note: An abnormally rapid ventricular rhythm usually in excess of 150 beats per minute. It is generated within the ventricle below the BUNDLE OF HIS, either as autonomic impulse formation or reentrant impulse conduction. Depending on the etiology, onset of ventricular tachycardia can be paroxysmal (sudden) or nonparoxysmal, its wide QRS complexes can be uniform or polymorphic, and the ventricular beating may be independent of the atrial beating (AV dissociation).
Entry Term(s): Idiopathic Ventricular Tachycardia; Nonsustained Ventricular Tachycardia; Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia; Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias; Ventricular Tachycardia
