NCIt definition : An electrocardiographic finding of an atypical rapid polymorphic ventricular tachycardia
with a characteristic rotation of the QRS complex around the isoelectric baseline,
occurring in the setting of a prolonged QT interval. In addition, the QRS complex
displays a periodic waxing and waning of amplitude on the electrocardiogram.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: An electrocardiographic finding of an atypical rapid polymorphic ventricular
tachycardia with a characteristic rotation of the QRS complex around the isoelectric
baseline, occurring in the setting of a prolonged QT interval. In addition, the QRS
complex displays a periodic waxing and waning of amplitude on the electrogram.; NICHD: An atypical polymorphic ventricular tachycardia that is characterized by fluctuation
of the QRS complexes around the baseline.;
