| | Ventricular Tachycardia |
 | | Ventricular tachycardia is a difficult clinical problem for the physician. | | | Although the conventional pharmacological approaches to therapy may be appropriate, surgical manipulations have been successful in some of these patients, as has been implantable defibrillator therapy. | | | Occasional runs of tachycardia are initiated by a change in posture, exercise, emotional excitement or vagal stimulation. |

| | Supraventricular Tachycardia |
| | CONCLUSIONS: Tachycardia- induced cardiomyopathy is amenable to "curative" therapy with RFCA. | | | When clinical tachycardia cannot be induced with therapy, transesophageal techniques can be used to predict freedom from many supraventricular tachycardias for most therapies in children. | | | Sustained fetal tachycardia is a potentially life- threatening condition in which pharmacologic therapy is reported to be effective. |

| | Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you feel a rapid, irregular pulse, fainting, or chest pain -- all of which may be indicative of ventricular tachycardia. | | | The ICD is implanted usually in the chest, like a pacemaker, and it is connected to the heart with wires. | | | It can also develop as an early or a late complication of a heart attack, or during the course of cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, myocarditis, and following heart surgery. |

| | 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. |

| | The author suggests that PHT may represent a drug with a wide margin of safety that is effective in controlling serious ventricular hyperirritability. | | | It brings into focus three important points which develop throughout the literature: 1) PHT is an effective antiarrhythmic, prompt in its action; 2) PHT has a high margin of safety; 3) In the acute stage, substantial amounts of PHT may be required, adjusted to the severity of the condition. | | | In spite of the previous history of complete heart block, it was felt that intravenous procainamide, if carefully controlled, was the treatment of choice. |

| | Premature ventricular beats are induced following conditioning pacing drives, in an attempt to induce reentrant arrhythmia. | | | Once an ICD has been implanted, adjunctive drug and catheter ablation therapies can be used to reduce the number of ICD discharges. | | | The most common form of proarrhythmia is torsades de pointes (see Torsade de Pointes), associated with QT-interval prolongation, usually due to excessive potassium channel blockade. |

| | What is ventricular tachycardia? |
| | When ventricular tachycardia does not respond to the various different drug therapies it is sometimes necessary for doctors to use a device known as an automatic cardioverter defibrillator. | | | When this condition is left untreated deterioration can continue until a form of cardiac arrest called ventricular fibrillation occurs. | | | In most cases treatment is given whether the patient has symptoms of ventricular tachycardia or not. |

| | The underlying problem in most cases is probably a tiny myocardial hamartoma, which is usually beyond the resolution of imaging techniques. | | | This arrhythmia will usually resolve by the age of five years and drug treatment can be withdrawn without recurrence. | | | Ventricular tachycardia is an arrhythmia which is faster than sinus rhythm and which originates in the ventricles. |

| | In ventricular rhythms, the depolarisation wave spreads through the ventricles by an irregular and therefore slower pathway. | | | Ventricular Fibrillation is normally associated with no cardiac output. | | | Repolarisation pathways are also different, causing the T wave to have an unusual morphology. |
