Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (a.k.a. Torsades de Pointes) is best treated with intravenous magnesium. Patients with a prolonged QT interval have a higher risk of developing polymorphic VT.

An electroencephalogram was then performed. During this recording, another episode of seizure occurred. As shown in the panel below, a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) started before any ...

Figure 3. Twelve-lead ECG tracing during stress test shows the typical aspect of bidirectional ventricular tachycardia characterized by 180° alternating QRS axis on a beat-to-beat basis, with a right ...

Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare genetic ventricular tachycardia which can result in sudden cardiac death and/or syncope in young individuals with ...
