Ventricular tachycardia is an abnormally fast heart beat (with three or more consecutive heart beats at least 100 beats per minute) that originates from one of the ventricles in the heart.

These arrhythmias may be treated with medication or cardiac ablation in some cases. Ventricular tachycardia (VT or "V-tach") is a serious arrhythmia. In V-tach, the electrical stimulus for the ...

Am J Health Syst Pharm. 2007;64(11):1174-1186. In the British study, 495 patients received droperidol 2.5-50 mg p.o. for the treatment of psychiatric illness and were compared with 101 healthy ...

When the impulses are properly synchronized, you have a normal heartbeat. Ventricular tachycardia occurs when the delivery of impulses is out of sync, causing the lower chambers to beat too fast. This ...

These data suggest that VT rate and duration and other common clinical variables may not be sufficiently robust discriminators for the risk of syncope and hence, ICD design and programming.

Despite evolving knowledge on different genes for these inherited conditions, for certain subtypes, such as catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia syndrome, the specific genetic causes ...

Background: Encouraging results have been reported for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT) with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with 25 Gy. SBRT with 12 Gy for refractory VT was ...

Gottfried, who famously voiced Iago in Disney's 1992 classic Aladdin, had been dealing with recurrent ventricular tachycardia due to myotonic dystrophy type II, his longtime friend and publicist ...

Noninducibility of any VT at PES* Established predictive value when performed from multiple sites (RV and LV) ≤3 extrastimuli Not useful for patients without inducible VT; suboptimal negative ...
