Ventricular tachycardia can be catechorized as follows:
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).
