Accelerated idioventricular rhythm
12 lead EKG shows a slow and wide complexes with intermittent narrow complex beats. The 5th and 10th beats are sinus node originated complexes (sinus rhythm) and close examination of these beats will give a clue to understand the cause of the wide complex rhythm. ST elevation indicates an acute myocardial infarction. The wide complex beats represent accelerated idioventricular rhythm which is usually seen following reperfusion in acute MI
