Whenever it is this fast, you need to be very careful to ascertain whether it is irregular ( as in atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular respsonse ) or regular ( as in VT ). This is not because it is polymorphic VT; it is because it is WPW with atrial fibrillation. Smith : What do you think? It is not VT; it is AF.
