Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a serious heart rhythm condition where the heartbeat becomes abnormally fast due to signals arising from the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles).
In this condition, the heart rate can rise above 150–200
beats per minute, which is significantly higher than the normal range of 60–100
beats per minute. Such rapid beating affects the heart’s ability to pump blood
effectively throughout the body.
As a result, individuals may experience symptoms like
dizziness, fainting, fatigue, shortness of breath, and in severe cases, sudden
cardiac arrest. Timely diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial to managing VT
and preventing complications.
