Ventricular tachycardia is a potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmia. If the rate is very fast, hemodynamic deterioration can occur rapidly. 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. Ventricular tachycardia which gets spontaneously terminated within 30 seconds is called non sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT).

Sometimes a player drops down dead after being accidentally hit by a ball or another player. This situation which can occur in any contact sports is known as commotio cordis. The sudden hit on the chest causes the heart to stop in ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation is a very fast irregular electrical activity of the lower chambers which prevents proper contraction of the heart.
