Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a type of
abnormal heart rhythm, also known as an arrhythmia, where the
ventricles of the heart beat very rapidly — more than three times the normal rate. This can lead to a significant reduction in the heart's ability to pump blood effectively, potentially causing symptoms like dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, or even loss of consciousness. Ventricular tachycardia is a
medical emergency and requires immediate treatment, as it can quickly deteriorate into
ventricular fibrillation, which is a
life-threatening condition and a common cause of sudden cardiac death.
