The 13 pages that link to Ventricular tachycardia, each with the reason it gives.

• Sudden cardiac deathRelated: It can trigger collapse directly or deteriorate into ventricular fibrillation.

• Ventricular fibrillationCompared with: It can deteriorate into ventricular fibrillation but may retain organized electrical activity.

• Automated external defibrillatorRelated: Pulseless ventricular tachycardia is another cardiac-arrest rhythm an AED may treat.

• Implantable cardioverter-defibrillatorRelated: This is a major rhythm an ICD detects and may treat with pacing or a shock.

• LidocaineRelated: Intravenous lidocaine may be used for selected ventricular arrhythmias, especially in acute settings.

• Torsades de pointesNarrower topic: Torsades is a specific, polymorphic type of ventricular tachycardia.

• Supraventricular tachycardiaCompared with: Unlike SVT, this rhythm originates in the ventricles and is generally treated as more dangerous.

• Catheter ablationRelated: Ablation can target scar-related circuits when medication or other treatment is insufficient.

• Heart failure with reduced ejection fractionRelated: Scar and structural disease increase risk of potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmias.

• ArrhythmiaBroader topic: It can sharply reduce effective pumping and progress to cardiac arrest.

• Sinus tachycardiaCompared with: Its ventricular origin makes it distinct from a rapid rhythm initiated by the sinus node.

• TachycardiaBroader topic: Its ventricular origin makes this form especially urgent to recognize.

• AmiodaroneRelated: Amiodarone is used to treat selected sustained or recurrent forms.
