first shows a PSVT - paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia at a rate of about 220/minute. &nbsp;The QRS complexes are narrow, and the rhythm is regular. &nbsp;In the second strip, we see the moment of conversion after a dose of 6 mg. of adenosine was administered by rapid I.V. infusion. &nbsp;The re-entry cycle is broken, and the patient experiences many PVCs, including groups of two, three, and even four in a row. &nbsp;Soon, however, the rhythm settles into sinus rhythm with PACs, and later, just sinus rhythm (not shown). &nbsp;For your more advanced students, the second strip shows the PVCs interacting with the underlying sinus rhythm. &nbsp;There are several fusion beats with varying degrees of fusion, and one can sometimes see a sinus P wave just before a PVC. &nbsp;None of this is clinically significant in this patient, because the ventricular ectopy was a side effect of the treatment, and was self-limited. &nbsp;It is a great strip for teaching, though!&nbsp;</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-rate-this-content field-type-fivestar field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Rate this content:&nbsp;</div><div
