Ventricular tachycardia

Abstract

Ventricular tachycardia is a malignant cardiac rhythm which frequently causes hemodynamic collapse if not treated early and aggressively. There are several ways to classify ventricular tachycardia, and it is important that physicians working in critical care units identify the cause and start appropriate treatment for effective care of these critically ill patients.
