Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) is an abnormal heart rhythm marked by a rapid and sustained heartbeat originating in the ventricles, the heart's lower chambers. This condition results in a disruption of the heart's normal electrical activity, leading to a significantly elevated heart rate. Ventricular Tachycardia poses a serious medical concern, as it can compromise the heart's ability to pump blood effectively, potentially leading to complications such as dizziness, fainting, or even cardiac arrest. While Ventricular Tachycardia is often associated with underlying heart conditions like coronary artery disease or structural abnormalities, it can also manifest in individuals with structurally normal hearts. The exact cause may vary, including scar tissue from a previous heart attack, genetic factors, or certain medications.
