Ventricular tachycardia should be described by type (monomorphic or polymorphic), duration (sustained or non-sustained) and heart rate — i.e. monomorphic VT non-sustained at a heart rate of 220 bpm or sustained polymorphic VT at a heart rate of 250 bpm.
What is monomorphic and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia?
Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia demonstrates a stable QRS morphology from beat to beat while polymorphic ventricular tachycardia has changing or multiform QRS variance from beat to beat.[1] Torsades de pointes is a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia that occurs in the setting of a long QT interval and appears as ...
What is the difference between monomorphic and polymorphic?
Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia is a more organized rhythm than the polymorphic form, and patients may maintain a reasonable hemodynamic state. In the absence of hypotension, monomorphic ventricular tachycardia can be treated with intravenous sotalol (1 mg/kg to a maximum of 100 mg) or amiodarone (5 mg/kg).
