Ventricular tachycardia: ECG quiz video

Plays from YouTube when you click. Nothing loads from YouTube before that.

A 23-second clip of the Patient Simulator monitor. The rhythm name is never on the screen: the video asks the question, gives a hint, counts down five seconds and then gives the answer.

Hint

What rhythm is this? Look at the width of the QRS complexes.

Answer

Ventricular tachycardia. Wide, fast and regular. This patient still has a pressure on the monitor, so it is VT with a pulse.
