2. Conducted (Arrow) and Unconducted (Arrowhead) SVPDsâthe Premature P Waves Differ Slightly from Those of Sinus Origin Whereas All QRS are the Same; Base-Apex Lead, 25 mm/S, 5 mm = 1 mV
3. Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia or Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm (AIVR)âthe VPDs (R) Have the Same Configuration and Have No Relationship to the P Wave; Base-Apex Lead 25 mm/S, 5 mm = 1 mV.
