On the other hand, the clinician is dealing with the actual pathologic entity and does not have to be concerned with the clinical relevance of the model. Basic and clinical information are complementary to the student of arrhythmias. The following will attempt to summarize basic tachycardia mechanisms, emphasizing highlights of interest to clinicians.
