- Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia (PVT): A shockable rhythm characterized by a rapid, irregular heartbeat without a pulse. Requires immediate defibrillation.
- Check for pulse before treating.
Non-Shockable Rhythms
- Asystole: A non-shockable rhythm defined by the absence of any electrical activity in the heart. This represents a complete cardiac standstill; immediate CPR is crucial.
