Ventricular Tachycardia
There are many different ECG forms of ventricular
tachycardia (V Tach). The rate of ventricular tachycardia can
vary from 120-200 bpm. It is the rate of this arrhythmia that
determines the severity of the condition. 
Ventricular tachycardia
is the result of ectopic foci stimulating the ventricle,
overwhelming it and causing the ventricle to beat out of control.
Ventricular tachycardia can be transient or it can be life
threatening. Even though the ventricles are contracting, it
causes a reduction in ventricular filling as well as reducing
cardiac output. It is the high rate of contraction that causes
the reductions. Symptoms can range from syncope to myocardial
ischemia or even infarction. This arrhythmia can be converted to
normal sinus rhythm through a precordial thump or by
defibrillation.
