What’s a “capture beat” ?
During ventricular tachycardia, sometimes the SA nodal firing takes control of independent ventricular depolarization for brief moment, as this happens, “CAPTURE BEATS” appear. They are nothing but a brief moment of normal looking P-QRS pattern

Whats a “fusion beat” ?
During ventricular tachycardia, sometimes the SA nodal impulse and the independent ventricular impulse combine together to create a mix looking P-QRS pattern called fusion beats.
