Question

question 2 of 5
what is the rhythm? (select your answer)
idioventricular rhythm
pulseless electrical activity (pea)
asystole
ventricular tachycardia

Explanation:

Ventricular tachycardia is characterized by a rapid heart rhythm originating from the ventricles. In an electrocardiogram (ECG), it typically shows a wide - QRS complex tachycardia. Idioventricular rhythm has a slower rate (usually 20 - 40 beats per minute). Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA) has organized electrical activity on the ECG but no mechanical contraction (no pulse). Asystole shows a flat line on the ECG (no electrical activity). The given rhythm in the ECG has a rapid and wide - QRS complex pattern which is consistent with ventricular tachycardia.

Answer:

Ventricular Tachycardia
