Ventricular Tachycardia

Cardiology Introduction Ventricular tachycardia (VT) represents a complex and potentially lethal spectrum of cardiac arrhythmias that remains a formidable challenge in contemporary cardiovascular medicine. As…

Ventricular tachycardia (VT): ECG criteria, causes, classification, treatment

…affected (i.e reduced) in virtually all cases. Ventricular tachycardia causes immense strain on the ventricular myocardium, simultaneously as the cause of the arrhythmia already…

🟠 Antiarrhythmic drugs in acute ventricular arrhythmias (ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation)

Info Antiarrhythmic drugs and management of ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation This manual presents recommendations for the management of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT, VF). It is primarily…

🟠 Brugada's algorithm for diagnosing ventricular tachycardia (VT)

…complex. Brugada's algorithm If there is no RS complex in any chest lead (V1–V6) a diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia can be made. Otherwise…

Diagnosis and management of supraventricular and ventricular tachyarrhythmias: Narrow complex tachycardia & wide complex tachycardia

…not depolarized normally. The vast majority of WCTs originate from impulses generated in the ventricles (ventricular tachycardia being the most common arrhythmia). Any impulses generated…

Antiarrhythmic drugs in ventricular tachyarrhythmias

Cardiology Antiarrhythmic drugs and management of ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation This manual presents recommendations for the management of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT, VF). It is primarily…

Tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy

…any tachyarrhythmia leading to prolonged periods of rapid ventricular rate (Table 1). Children and healthy adults may also develop tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy (Gopinnathair et al)…

Ventricular rhythm and accelerated ventricular rhythm (idioventricular rhythm)

…treatment. It does not progress to ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation and it does not affect cardiac output to the point of hemodynamic compromise. Figure…

Ventricular fibrillation, pulseless electrical activity and sudden cardiac arrest

…and sudden cardiac arrest. Unlike ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation seldom self terminates and death is imminent without immediate and resuscitative efforts. https://ecgwaves.com/course…

Pacemaker-mediated tachycardia (PMT): ECG and management

…activation) and thus triggers another ventricular stimulation. This cycle may repeat itself so that a tachyarrhythmia is established. Pacemaker mediated tachycardia on ECG Pacemaker beats…
