Automatic idioventricular rhythm – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1431372769

A repetitive ventricular rhythm occurring at a rate < 120 bpm in adolescents and adults or < 20% faster than sinus rhythm in younger children. It may be the result of an accelerated ventricular focus which generates an impulse faster than the sinus node and therefore assumes control.
