Descriptor aleteo ventricular
Entry term(s) flúter ventricular
Scope note: Arritmia cardiaca potencialmente letal caracterizada por taquicardia ventricular extremadamente rápida y hemodinámicamente inestable (150-300 latidos por minuto), con aspecto de amplia onda sinusoidal. Si no se trata, el aleteo ventricular típicamente progresa a FIBRILACIÓN VENTRICULAR.
