Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm Definition

The term accelerated idioventricular rhythm describes an ectopic ventricular rhythm with 3 or more consecutive ventricular premature beats with a rate faster than the normal ventricular intrinsic escape rate of 30 to 40 beats per minute, but slower than ventricular tachycardia. Accelerated idioventricular rhythm differs from ventricular tachycardia by additional features such as the onset with a long coupling interval and the end by a gradual decrease of the ventricular rate or increase of the sinus rate.
