Ventricular Tachycardia Management

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in the setting of acute myocardial ischemia can also be treated by intravenous lignocaine bolus followed by infusion. Predisposing causes for ventricular tachycardia like ischemia and electrolyte imbalance has to be treated simultaneously to prevent recurrence.

Types of Ventricular Tachycardia

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Reentrant VT can be scar related as after a myocardial infarction, bundle branch reentry and fascicular tachycardia. Automatic ventricular tachycardia can occur in acute ischemia, electrolyte imbalance and with increased sympathetic tone. Either case, the treatment is ablation of the right bundle.
