Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm (AIVR)

Report:

Accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) 88/min

Comment:

Some authors still apply the oxymoronic designation of slow VT to it. For descriptive purposes, nothing below the rate of 100/min should be called tachycardia.

The atrial rhythm is, probably, atrial fibrillation; the patient reverted to it after digoxin was stopped (Fig 194a).
