Ventricular tachycardia (v-tach or VT) is a very fast heart rhythm that begins in the ventricles. The condition most commonly affects people who have heart disorders, such as coronary artery disease ...

Most wide QRS complex tachycardias (WCTs) are ventricular or supraventricular in origin, but to differentiate between the two can present a diagnostic challenge. To develop and test an algorithm that ...

Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is an abnormal heart rhythm where the bottom chambers of your heart beat too quickly. People with severe cases may experience sudden cardiac arrest. Conditions that ...

Ablation strategies for almost all types of ventricular tachycardias have now been established. The optimal ablation strategy for ventricular tachycardia is determined by the site of origin and the ...

Ventricular tachycardia arises from an abnormal electrical focus or circuit in the myocardium of the ventricle and is usually manifested as a tachyarrhythmia with a wide QRS complex on ...

Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia is an abnormally fast heart rate that occurs in the lower chambers of the heart and lasts for less than 30 seconds. Tachycardia is a heart rate that is faster ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...

Ventricular tachycardia, or V-tach (VT), and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) are two types of tachycardia. The term “tachycardia” refers to a heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute. The key ...

If you have ventricular tachycardia, your doctor may give you medicine to slow your heart rate down. You might also need a catheter ablation. In this procedure, a doctor threads a thin tube through an ...
