Hello, I'm an expert in cardiology with extensive experience in dealing with various heart conditions, including arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia (V tach). Ventricular tachycardia is a rapid heart rate that originates in the ventricles of the heart. It can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. In some cases, it can be treated with a procedure called cardioversion, which involves delivering an electrical shock to the heart to restore a normal rhythm. However, the decision to perform cardioversion must be made by a qualified healthcare professional who has assessed the patient's condition and determined that the benefits of the procedure outweigh the risks. read more >>

Treatment of Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) and Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) is included in the Cardiac Arrest Algorithm. VF and pulseless VT are shockable rhythms and treated in similar fashion. Asystole and PEA are also included in the cardiac arrest algorithm but are nonshockable rhythms.read more >>
