Causes And Risk Factors Of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia

Ventricular Tachycardia

As its name says, ventricular tachycardia is a condition that causes the heart’s nether chambers to beat too quickly. In this case, the ventricles are not only out of sync with the upper chambers but uncoordinated. Again, the too-rapid beating of the heart prevents them from filling with blood the way they should. Sometimes the symptoms of the condition, also called V-tach, lasts for mere seconds. There may not be any symptoms at all. On the other hand, ventricular tachycardia can cause cardiac arrest and is a complication of other types of heart disease. It can also be a side effect of a medication, the result of substance abuse, or a complication of an inflammatory disease.
