Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ventricular Tachycardia is defined as a heart rate greater than 100 beats per minute originating from the ventricles. If the rate is below 150, it is considered to be slow Ventricular Tachycardia. Ventricular Fibrillation is a chaotic and uncoordinated contraction of the ventricles and has no discernible rate. Ventricular Bradycardia is a slow heart rate originating from the ventricles, usually defined as less than 40 beats per minute. Ventricular Asystole is the absence of electrical activity in the ventricles and therefore has no heart rate.
