Ventricular tachycardia is a potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmia. On the ECG, ventricular tachycardia can be defined as three or more ventricular ectopic beats occurring in a sequence at a rate more than 100 per minute. Another rare form of ventricular tachycardia is bidirectional ventricular tachycardia.

ICD is short form for implantable cardioverter defibrillator, used to automatically shock back the heart into action in case of life threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Moreover, the internal shocks given by CRT-D can be painful, though essential to save life in case of fast ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation.

Thrombus can sometimes occur when there is a central venous catheter or a multiple pacemaker or defibrillator leads there that can cause thrombus formation. One is ventricular tachycardia with regular retrograde activation. Especially, in patients with rheumatic fever, PR interval is prolonged and there is sinus tachycardia.

Here is the transcript of the video: Implantable defibrillator is an important life saving device. Then, why is it mentioned that, implanting a defibrillator soon after an acute myocardial infarction, in those with left ventricular dysfunction and prone for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, is not useful?
