Ventricular Tachycardia Question Been in permanent afib for a year. Two conversions failed. Wanted to try metoprolol increase before ablation. Was monitored for two weeks. I haven't seen electrophysicist yet, but was worried about results. I was in afib 100 per cent which was no surprise. But this time i had two episodes of ventricular tachycardia. One was four beats and Maximumof 207 bpm. The other was 8 beats and Average of 120bpm. They called them ventricular bigeminy and trimigeny. I know he will explain this at appointment but not until May. Anything ventricular really scares me.would appreciate it if you could tell me if this is rare or more common. Thank you. https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,179814,179814#msg-179814 Wed, 24 Jun 2026 12:15:55 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,179814,180114#msg-180114 Re: Ventricular Tachycardia Question https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,179814,180114#msg-180114 wolfpack AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 04 Apr 2021 01:42:07 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,179814,179819#msg-179819 Re: Ventricular Tachycardia Question https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,179814,179819#msg-179819 Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Mon, 15 Mar 2021 04:39:32 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,179814,179817#msg-179817 Re: Ventricular Tachycardia Question https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,179814,179817#msg-179817 Erin AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 14 Mar 2021 23:29:01 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,179814,179816#msg-179816 Re: Ventricular Tachycardia Question https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,179814,179816#msg-179816

They called them ventricular bigeminy and trigeminy.

"The term “ventricular bigeminy” refers to alternating normal sinus and premature ventricular complexes. Three or more successive premature ventricular complexes are arbitrarily defined as ventricular tachycardia." Source: [www.aafp.org].

Premature ventricular complexes are very common and nothing to worry about.]]> GeorgeN AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 14 Mar 2021 22:38:08 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,179814,179814#msg-179814 Ventricular Tachycardia Question https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,179814,179814#msg-179814 Erin AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 14 Mar 2021 22:16:54 +0000
