Case 2 — Electrocardiogram (ECG)

ECG recorded at 25 mm/sec showing leads I, II, and III simultaneously. Six wide, bizarre premature ventricular complexes occur in a row (complexes 7–12), consistent with a brief run of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia at approximately 250–330 beats per minute. The fifth PVC shows the R-on-T phenomenon.
