Premature Ventricular Contraction EKG Examples

Shown below is an EKG showing premature ventricular contractions.

Shown below is an EKG showing a Premature Ventricular Contractions.

Shown below is an EKG showing a Premature Ventricular Contractions triggering ventricular flutter.

Shown below is an EKG showing a sinus rhythm with ventricular bigemini.

Shown below is an EKG showing a sinus rhythm with ventricular bigemini. Every sinus beat is followed by a ventricular extrasystole.

Shown below is an EKG image of premature ventricular contraction. The arrow indicates a ventricular extrasystole (VES).
