Answer 11

11.  Choice A is the correct answer.  Ventricular Tachycardia is a wide complex tachycardia that comes from a single ectopic focus within the ventricle.  Ventricular fibrillation comes from multiple foci in the ventricle that is why it is irregular and wavy.  Supraventricular tachycardia comes from outside of the ventricle that is why it is a narrow complex tachycardia.  Torsades is usually from a magnesium deficiency and is wavy but the rhythm looks like it is turning on a point.
