Slow ventricular tachycardia is also known as an “accelerated idioventricular rhythm” or “AIVR” and is a common rhythm after an MI. An idioventricular rhythm — not accelerated — has a heart rate of < ...

An idioventricular rhythm is very similar to ventricular tachycardia (VT), except the ventricular rate is less than 60. All other characteristics of ventricular tachycardia apply, including the ...

The correct diagnosis is sinus bradycardia and accelerated idioventricular rhythm (Figure 2). Figure 2. Courtesy of Philip J. Podrid, MD. The rhythm is slightly irregular at a rate of 50-54 beats/min.

There is regular rhythm at a rate of 42 beats/min. The first five QRS complexes are wide (0.14 sec), and no P waves are seen before or after these QRS complexes; however there appears to be a P wave ...
