Ventricular Flutter

Ventricular flutter: is an arrhythmia, specifically a tachycardia affecting the ventricles with a rate of more than 250-350 beats per minute. 

The ECG shows a sinusoidal waveform with no clear definition of the QRS and T waves. It is a critically unstable arrhythmia that can lead to death. It has been proposed as a possible transition stage between ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation.
