In this video, we go over the characteristics of ventricular escape beats and how they differ from premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). Differentiating these beats can be a tricky business, so we walk you through how to break down the components of these rhythms to more easily decipher the specific arrhythmia you are seeing.
