…AVRT (Pre excitation, Wolff Parkinson White syndrome) and ectopic atrial tachycardia have traditionally been referred to as paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias , because these tachyarrhythmias originate in…

…Ventricular premature complexes are not preceded by P waves because the ectopic impulse originates in the ventricles and does not influence the atria (with exceptions…
