Ventricular allorhythmia during infarct-related ventricular tachycardia

J Electrocardiol. 2012 Jul-Aug;45(4):394-397. doi: 10.1016/j.jelectrocard.2012.02.006. Epub 2012 Mar 15.

Abstract

Ventricular allorhythmia is an electrocardiogram feature leading to a pattern of "regularly irregular" arrhythmia mainly reported during non-life-threatening organized atrial tachycardia. We report the infrequent case of a patient presenting with ventricular allorhythmia during infarct-related ventricular tachycardia. The potential mechanisms of this tachycardia are discussed.
