Ventricular tachycardia (v-tach or VT) is a very fast heart rhythm that begins in the ventricles. The condition most commonly affects people who have heart disorders, such as coronary artery disease ...

Most wide QRS complex tachycardias (WCTs) are ventricular or supraventricular in origin, but to differentiate between the two can present a diagnostic challenge. To develop and test an algorithm that ...

Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia is an abnormally fast heart rate that occurs in the lower chambers of the heart and lasts for less than 30 seconds. Tachycardia is a heart rate that is faster ...

Ventricular tachycardia arises from an abnormal electrical focus or circuit in the myocardium of the ventricle and is usually manifested as a tachyarrhythmia with a wide QRS complex on ...

Wide complex tachycardia is a general term that refers to conditions that cause an unusually fast heart rate and a particular pattern on an EKG. Tachycardia is when your heart beats unusually fast, ...

Ablation strategies for almost all types of ventricular tachycardias have now been established. The optimal ablation strategy for ventricular tachycardia is determined by the site of origin and the ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...
