What is ventricular tachycardia?
Ventricular tachycardia is a rapid heart rate originating from the ventricles (lower chambers of the heart) and produces a heart rate frequency of at least 100 beats …show more content…
Finding ways to use gene therapy to correct the defects of the heart's electrical system will significantly reduce the risk of ventricular tachycardia to progress to more serious heart problems.
What are the symptoms of ventricular tachycardia?
Patients with ventricular tachycardia may have no symptoms (asymptomatic) and tachycardia ventricles to be discovered incidentally in a routine clinical examination or ECG.
Ventricular tachycardia symptoms are:
* Palpitations, patients with ventricular tachycardia accused person feels palpitations, changes in heart rate or heart feels like "skipped a beat." Palpitations can create discomfort and anxiety (fear) in some people.
* Dyspnea (breathing is difficult) or tachypnea (rapid breathing, shallow)
* Weakness, fatigue
* Confusion
* Chest pain with pain characters angina (chest discomfort or pain that occurs when blood does not reach enough at heart)
* Dizziness or syncope (fainting).
Symptoms of ventricular tachycardia are due to diminishing ability to pump blood to the heart to other organs (especially to the brain and heart). Ventricular tachycardia and decreased cardiac output lowers blood
