Try Free Symptom QuizWhat is Ventricular Tachycardia?
This is an abnormal heart rhythm where the lower heart chambers contract too quickly. As a result, there isn't enough time to fill these chambers with blood before it's pumped out to the body, and the body receives insufficient oxygenated blood. The cause isn't always known - it might be due to heart disease, heart tissue inflammation, or being born with structural heart problems.
Typical Symptoms of Ventricular Tachycardia
- Losing consciousness during a physical activity
- Losing consciousness
- Feel the heart is pounding
- History of heart failure
- Chest pain
- History of heart vessel blockage or heart attack
- Feeling lightheaded before losing consciousness
- Losing consciousness during or after meals
Diagnostic Questions for Ventricular Tachycardia
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Did you faint while walking or doing something?
- Have you temporarily lost consciousness?
- Is your heart pounding?
- Have you ever been diagnosed with heart problems?
- Do you have chest pain?
Treatment of Ventricular Tachycardia
Sustained ventricular tachycardia is a potentially dangerous condition that needs treatment. This could involve medications to help the heart maintain a normal rhythm, a procedure to destroy the cells causing the ventricular tachycardia, an implanted device to monitor and correct abnormal rhythms, or, in some cases, surgery.
