Ventricular tachycardia
Ventricular tachycardia is the term for a fast heart rate that begins in the ventricles, the lower section of the heart. It leads to a fast yet regular heart rhythm.

Ventricular Tachycardia
Watch Video
The heart is a muscle that contracts in rhythmic sequence for the duration of our lifetime. Each beat is stimulated by an electrical signal that is generated by the heart's conduction system.

Ventricular tachycardia versus ventricular fibrillation
VT is distinguished from ventricular fibrillation (VF), which is a grossly disorganized, rapid ventricular rhythm that varies in interval and waveform.
How is ventricular tachycardia diagnosed?
If an electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG) can be performed while ventricular tachycardia is occurring, it often provides the most useful information.
About ventricular tachycardia
Tachycardia means a rapid heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute. Ventricular means that the problem starts in the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles).
Ventricular tachycardia
Enlarge
Ventricular tachycardia is a condition in which the heart beats faster than 100 beats per minute at rest.
Ventricular tachycardia is ≥ 3 consecutive ventricular beats at a rate ≥ 120 beats/min. Symptoms depend on duration and vary from none to palpitations to hemodynamic collapse and death. Diagnosis is by ECG.
Supraventricular Tachycardia
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) causes episodes of a fast heartbeat. Palpitations and other symptoms may occur during each episode. Regular medication can prevent episodes of SVT.

PSVT; Supraventricular tachycardia
Definition of Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT):
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is an occasional rapid heart rate. "Paroxysmal" means from time to time.
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is an occasional rapid heart rate. "Paroxysmal" means from time to time.
Overview, Causes, & Risk Factors ...
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, or PSVT, is an abnormal, fast heartbeat that occurs suddenly. It is triggered in the atria, or upper chambers, of the heart.
What is going on in the body?
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a rapid heart rate, which occurs from time to time (paroxysmal). PSVT starts with events taking place above the ventricles.
What is catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia?
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a condition characterized by an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia).
Ventricular tachycardia (VT). This fast, regular beating of the heart is caused by abnormal electrical impulses originating in the ventricles.
Ventricular Tachycardia
Topic Overview
If you have supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), go to the topic Supraventricular Tachycardia.
Ventricular tachycardia
The heart rate is rapid, frequently 120 bpm and above. At this rate the ventricles do not have time to fill properly and cardiac output is reduced leading to hypotension.
Ventricular tachycardia: this arrhythmia originates in the ventricles and causes the heart to beat too fast. As a result, the body doesn't get enough blood and the consequences are very serious.
Ventricular Tachycardia
Ventricular tachycardia is a fast, regular beating of the ventricles that may last for only a few seconds or for much longer.
Ventricular tachycardia (VT): A life-threatening condition in which an electrical signal is sent from the ventricles at a very fast but often regular rate.

Ventricular Tachycardia is a series of sudden irregular heartbeats that can cause the heart to function incorrectly, or in the most severe cases to stop completely.

Ventricular tachycardia is an abnormal heart rhythm that is rapid, regular and originates from an area of the ventricle, the lower chamber of the heart.
Ventricular tachycardia can occur without heart disease.
Scar tissue may form in the muscle of the ventricles days, months, or years after a heart attack. This can lead to ventricular tachycardia.
Ventricular tachycardia can also be caused by: ...
Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) occurs when heart muscle cells become locked into a circuit and send out signals that make the lower chambers of the heart beat too quickly.
Ventricular tachycardia is a rapid resting heart rate initiated within the ventricles, typically at 160 - 240 beats per minute (normal resting rate is 60 - 100 beats per minute).
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) - This is an abnormal heart rhythm that begins in either the right or left ventricle. It may last for a few seconds (non-sustained VT) or for many minutes or even hours (sustained VT).
Ventricular tachycardia - Tachycardia is a fast heart rate. The ventricles are the heart's main pumping chambers (figure 2).
Ventricular tachycardia (fast heartbeat usually assoc. with severe heart disease),
Ventricular fibrillation (a type of cardiac arrest, & death will ensue without defibrillation).
Ventricular tachycardia: Fast and usually regular impulses come from the ventricles and cause a very rapid heart rate. This is usually a life-threatening tachycardia and needs immediate medical attention, possibly electrical shock or defibrillation.
ventricular tachycardia - a serious condition in which the ventricles cause a fast heartbeat
heart failure - the heart is unable to pump blood effectively to meet the body's metabolic needs.
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) - A condition in which an electrical signal is sent from the ventricles at a very fast but often regular rate.
ventricular tachycardia - a condition in which the ventricles cause a very fast heartbeat.

Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia (PAT) and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT): PAT and PSVT are caused by changes in the natural electrical impulse that causes your heart to pump.
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is an abnormal conduction of electricity in particular areas of the heart.

Parosysmal Ventricular Tachycardia. A sporadic form of Ventricular Tachycardia.
Prescription
A prescription, as is well known, is a physician's order for the preparation and administration of a drug or device for a patient.
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). A rapid heart rate, usually with a regular rhythm, originating from above the ventricles. PSVT begins and ends suddenly.
Ventricular tachycardia (V-tach): A rapid heartbeat that originates in the ventricles. The rapid rhythm keeps the heart from adequately filling with blood, and less blood is able to pump through the body.
Alternatively, fast heart rhythms such as atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, and ventricular tachycardia can be present.
Most people think of tachycardia as a supraventricular tachycardia. But, there are many other forms of tachycardia.
Defibrillators continuously monitor the heart rhythm in order to detect overly rapid arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (rapid regular beating of the ventricles, the bottom chambers of the heart); ...
Heart rhythm problems, such as atrial fibrillation or paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) that began recently or that cannot be controlled with medicines may be treated this way.
Some rapid and very dangerous heart rhythms, such as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, are potentially fatal. One treatment option includes an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
