Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rhythm in Figure 13 is Ventricular Tachycardia. This is indicated by the wide QRS complexes of more than 0.12 seconds and the absence of discernible P waves. Ventricular fibrillation would show a chaotic rhythm with no organized QRS complexes while Atrial flutter and Atrial tachycardia would show narrow QRS complexes with discernible P waves.
