NSR changing to SVT

In this page the patient is in sinus rhythm.  Then a PVC occurs on the 5th complex and it induces a run of an atrial ectopic rhythm.  The width and morphology of the QRS complexes do not change, so I think that it is supraventricular.  In leads I and II, it looks like there are some occasional P waves that look different from the sinus P waves. 

Atrial Fibrillation with a Run of VT

This a 7 lead rhythm summary that I printed from our monitor of a patient in atrial fibrillation. Hopefully you can enlarge it on your computer. The QT interval is about .44 sec.  A couplet occurs right after the T wave and induces a run of VT.  Not quite an R-on-T episode but very close.  Perhaps enough of the ventricle was still in a relative state of depolarization to induce the run of VT.
