Salvo of Ventricular Premature Complexes in Ischemic Heart Disease

Abstract

Nonsustained ventricular tachycardia can be observed in various cardiac conditions, which can be benign or life-threatening, and is commonly encountered in patients with underlying structural heart disease. Hemodynamic instability in this rhythm abnormality is uncommon, but emergency management is warranted for unstable patients to mitigate dire consequences.
