The following figure illustrates the conditions under which PVC alarms will be generated if V-Tach PVCs is set to
6, V-Tach Rate is set to 130, V Brady PVCs is set to 5, and V Brady Rate is set to 40.
If both V-Tach PVCs and V-Tach Rate are greater than or equal to the limits, a V-Tach alarm is generated.
