 Ventricular tachycardia can be catechorized as follows:
-{{clr}}
+*Non-sustained VT: three or more ventricular beats with a maximal duration of 30 seconds.
-====Non-sustained VT====
+*Sustained VT: a VT of more than 30 seconds duration (or less if treated by electrocardioversion within 30 seconds).
-Non-sustained VT is defined three or more ventricular beats with a maximal duration of 30 seconds.
+*Monomorphic VT: all ventricular beats have the same configuration.
-{{clr}}
+*Polymorphic VT: the ventricular beats have a changing configuration. The RR interval is 180-600 ms (comparable to a heart rate of 100-333 bpm).
-====Sustained VT====
-Sustained VT is defined as a VT of more than 30 seconds duration (or less if treated by electrocardioversion within 30 seconds).
