Shown below is an EKG showing a trigeminal rhythm where wide complex beats are interpolated between normal QRS complexes. Note that there is PR prolongation after the wide complex beat. The wide complex beats are probably ventricular beats. As a rule interpolated wide beats are usually ventricular. In most cases the P wave after the PVC is not conducted and a compensatory pause is created instead of an interpolated beat.

Shown below is an EKG showing a sinus rhythm with interpolated ventricular premature complexes. Wide complex beats interpolated between sinus complexes suggests strongly that they are ventricular in origin.
