-During AV dissociation there is no link between the atrial and ventricular activity. A good example is [[total AV block]] in which the atria can have [[sinusrhythm]] and the ventricles a [[ventricular escape rhythm]].
+During A-V dissociation there is no link between the atrial and ventricular activity. A good example is Complete A-V block in which the atria can have [[sinus rhythm]] and the ventricles a [[ventricular escape rhythm]].
-AV dissociation, when observed, can be very helpful in the diagnosis of [[ventricular tachycardia]]. As a wide complex tachcyardia with AV dissociation is always a ventricular tachycardia. Sometimes, during ventricular tachycardia, the atria are activated retrogradically. Thus, AV dissociation is not allways present in ventricular tachycardia.
