    Nice example of the irregularity we commonly see early in a run of VT. A lot of folks see that irregularity immediately jump to calling it atrial fibrillation, or even AF + WPW.

      Thanks for your comments Vince. These pages are what the physicians would view when we report a rhythm change. Usually the event is over before we can obtain a 12 lead. However, there is enough information here to make a good analysis. In lead 1 it looks like the initial PVC just hit the latter end of the T wave, so perhaps a little R-on-T.
