Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bigeminy is a cardiac arrhythmia where every other beat is a premature ventricular contraction (PVC). Salvo PVCs refer to three or more PVCs in a row, unifocal PVCs pertain to PVCs originating from the same location in the ventricle, and run of PVCs pertains to four or more consecutive PVCs. Therefore, the most appropriate answer is D (bigeminy).
