Ventricular tachycardia is an abnormally fast heart beat (with three or more consecutive heart beats at least 100 beats per minute) that originates from one of the ventricles in the heart.

Ventricular tachycardia refers to a wide QRS complex heart rhythm — that is, a QRS duration beyond 120 milliseconds — originating in the ventricles at a rate of greater than 100 beats per minute.

This wide QRS complex tachycardia has a typical left bundle branch block pattern, but two things give the clue that this is ventricular tachycardia. There is a fusion beat (second from left ...
