|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wide complex (QRS>0.12) | |||||||
| Ventricular Tachycardia | 
| regular (mostly) | 60-100 bpm | 110-250 bpm | ventricle (VT) | AV-dissociation | no rate reduction (sometimes accelerates) |
| Ventricular Fibrillation | 
| irregular | 60-100 bpm | 400-600 bpm | ventricle (VT) | AV-dissociation | none |
| Ventricular Flutter | 
| regular | 60-100 bpm | 150-300 bpm | ventricle (VT) | AV-dissociation | none |
| Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm | 
| regular (mostly) | 60-100 bpm | 50-110 bpm | ventricle (VT) | AV-dissociation | no rate reduction (sometimes accelerates) |
| Torsade de Pointes | 
| regular | 150-300 bpm | ventricle (VT) | AV-dissociation | no rate reduction (sometimes accelerates) | |
| Bundle-branch re-entrant tachycardia* | 
| regular | 60-100 bpm | 150-300 bpm | ventricles (VT) | AV-dissociation | no rate reduction |
| *) Bundle-branch re-entrant tachycardia is extremely rare | |||||||
