Modification of statements
The program classifies the non-dominant complexes before it classifies the rhythm, assuming
that both classifications are not contradictory. However, in the presence of atrial fibrillation,
atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia, second degree AV block, or advanced AV block, a detailed
classification of the non-dominant complexes is considered too difficult. Any statement on
sequences, doublets or isolated non-dominant complexes will then be replaced with the
general statement:
“premature ventricular complexes or aberrantly conducted complexes”
