Re-entry ventricular arrhythmia is a type of paroxysmal tachycardia where the cause of the arrhythmia is due to the electric signal not completing the normal circuit but rather an alternative circuit looping back upon itself. There develops a self-perpetuating rapid and abnormal activation. (Circus Movement is another term for this.) Conditions necessary for reentry include a combination of unidirectional block and slowed conduction.
