Extract

This article on the assessment and management of ventricular arrhythmias is the third in a series exploring cardiac monitoring in the perioperative care setting. Ventricular arrhythmias, which arise within the ventricular myocardium, can be potentially lifethreatening. Many of the causes of these arrhythmias can be found in the peri-operative setting and thus it is essential that practitioners are able to differentiate the rhythms and respond appropriately.
