Summary
Idioventricular rhythm, a benign heart rhythm disturbance, is often seen in adults and rarely in children. This condition requires no therapy and does not adversely affect prognosis.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Pediatric Cardiology
Background:
- Idioventricular rhythm (IVR) is frequently reported in adults, often associated with acute myocardial infarction or other cardiac conditions, but also in healthy individuals.
- The origin and nature of IVR remain largely unknown, though it is considered benign and does not adversely affect prognosis.
- While reported in adults, IVR is less common in infants and children, with limited existing literature.
