Ventricular tachycardia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ventricular tachycardia ( V-tach or VT ) is a tachycardia, or fast heart rhythm, that originates in one of the ventricles of the heart. This is a potentially life-threatening arrhythmia because i...

Generally, the tachyarrhythmias can be characterized as either monomorphic ventricular tachycardia or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia would appear on an ECG record with a regular rate and rhythm and fixed shape or morphology of the ECG trace.

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is characterized by episodic syncope occurring during exercise or acute emotion in individuals without structural cardiac abnormalities. The underlying cause of these episodes is the onset of fast ventricular tachycardia (bidirectional or polymorphic).
