Abstract:
The authors report on present knowledge and questions concerning Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm (AIR). The electrocardiographic characteristics and the supposed electrophysiologic mechanisms are analyzed and compared to ventricular tachycardia (VT). The authors emphasize that AIR is not a single entity: in some cases it may represent an unusual form of VT, in others a separate ventricular arrhythmia.
