| | Unstable VT is treated as ventricular fibrillation, with immediate synchronized cardioversion, followed by expeditious airway management (if needed), supplemental oxygenation, vascular access, and antiarrhythmic therapy. | | | Pathophysiology: VT usually is a consequence of structural heart disease, with breakdown of normal conduction patterns, increased automaticity (which tends to favor ectopic foci), and activation of re-entrant pathways in the ventricular conduction system. | | | Unstable VT Unstable VT is characterized by symptoms of insufficient oxygen delivery such as chest pain, dyspnea, hypotension, or altered level of consciousness, indicating rate and stroke volume are not providing adequate cardiac output. |

| | Also termed polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, this condition shows a movement in the reentrant mechanism. | | | The condition is dangerous if the rate increases to the point when the R wave overlaps with the T wave. | | | Usually initiated by premature ventricular complexes, ventricular tachycardia is continued by re-entry mechanisms. |
