Description
The ventricles (purkinje fibres) may assume the function of pacing the heart, they pace at a slower rate 20-40b/min which cannot sustain the body's perfusion requirements. Rhythms originating from the ventricles are called ventricular arrhythmias because they originate in the ventricles.
Ventricular arrhythmias occur when:-
a) The SAN fails to initiate an impulse
b) The AVN does not pick to pace
