normal. The rate is within 60-100 bpm.
3. Ventricular Tachycardia - notice the characteristic wave forms associated with VT. Wide and rapid QRS
complexes with no P waves.
4. The identified beat is a PVC or premature ventricular contraction. Notice the early QRS complex.
5. Sinus Tachycardia - by using the box counting method you can identify that the rate is >100bpm.
6. Ventricular Fibrillation - notice the fibrillating waves with no P waves or distinguishable QRS
complexes. Immediate defibrillation is required.
