About Ventricular Tachycardia

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a rare but potentially life-threatening arrhythmia, characterized by an uncontrolled rapid heart rate in the ventricles. It is a serious condition that can lead to heart failure, stroke, and other complications. VT is usually caused by a congenital heart defect, such as a ventricular arrhythmia or a myocardial infarction. It can also be caused by factors such as infections, autoimmune disorders, or exposure to certain medications. Symptoms of VT may include palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, and fatigue. Treatment typically involves medications to regulate the heart rate and prevent complications. In severe cases, catheter ablation may be necessary to resolve the condition. It is important to seek medical attention immediately if you experience any symptoms of VT. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes and reduce the risk of complications.
