In this lecture, we will discuss accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm. Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm is also known as “Slow Ventricular Tachycardia”. AIVR is an increased ventricular rhythm that has at least 3 consecutive ventricular beats with a rate between 50 and 100 beats per minute.

 

Keep in mind that the AIVR differs from the following rhythm abnormalities. 

  • Ventricular escape rhythm is a self-generated electrical discharge originating in the ventricles and causing their contraction. This is a protective response that occurs in the absence of impulses (e.g. during a third degree heart block when both the SA node and AV node are firing at a rate lower than that of the ventricle.) This occurs almost 2-3 seconds after an electrical impulse has failed to reach the ventricles. The heart rate is less than 40 beats per minute. Since it is a phenomena that prevents cardiac arrest from occurring, its management involves correcting the rhythm, not getting rid of it.

  • Ventricular tachycardia, which is a heart rate greater than 120 beats per minute.

  • Remember that both the ventricular escape and ventricular tachycardia are not AIVR 

AIVR affects only the ventricles, and is considered an ectopic arrhythmia.

It is usually regarded as a benign, self-limiting arrhythmia, therefore, it does not require treatment.
