even"><p>This ECG was taken from a patient who was complaining of palpitations and tachycardia, but who was hemodynamically stable, with no history of heart disease. &nbsp;It is an example of RIGHT VENTRICULAR OUTFLOW TRACT TACHYCARDIA, a type of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia. &nbsp;The ECG signs of RVOT are: &nbsp;wide QRS complex, left bundle branch block pattern (QRS negative in V1 and positive in Leads I and V6), heart rate over 100 bpm, rightward or inferior axis (LBBB usually has a normal to leftward axis), AV dissociation.</p><p>RVOT accounts for about 10% of all ventricular tachycardias, and 70% of idiopathic VT. &nbsp;It is most often found in structurally normal hearts, but it may occur in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. &nbsp;For more on RVOT, read<a title="LITFL RVOT" href="http://lifeinthefastlane.com/ecg-library/rvo/"> Life In the Fast Lane</a>.</p><p>RVOT tachycardia sometimes <a title="Circulation Adenosine VT"
