What Does VT @ 300 BPM Signify?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Good evening good doctors, upon review of a colleagues medical records on 5 lead telemetry, one of her patients demonstrated what she is calling VT @ 300 BPM; these strips (I call artifactual) because a distinct R-R interval is present @ 80 BPM, I was wondering if VT could even hit that perimeter? Thanks

Hello
The usually rate of VT is more than 200 bpm, but as you are telling R R interval measuring 80 bpm then it becomes difficult to say.
For proper diagnosis the ECG needs to be seen.
