Ventricular tachycardia as a group , constitute a major group of cardiac arrhythmias. Most of the VTs are managed by cardioversion followed by medical management. Few require , implantable defibrillator when there is severe LV dysfucntion .(ICD) Localising the origin of VT and subsequent , ablation is the treatment of choice in some of the [...]

Hypertension is major determinant of cardiovascular health of our global population
Millions suffer, hundreds of societies , and as many guidelines , and drugs are still struggling to control the menace.
An important sub group of HT , (ie IDH ) population has been neglected and never received the scientific interest , which it deserves !

Ventricular tachycardia is considered as a dangerous electrical rhythm abnormality .It can immediately degenrate into ventricular fibrillation and result in SCD in many.Ironically, it is also a fact , a patient with VT can present silently without any symptom .Some VTs are slow and recurrent without much affecting The hemodyanmics.
In chronic recurrent, beningn VT (Some [...]

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is one of the dangerous form of cardiac arrhythmias.
When it occurs , it may present in many ways
Cardiac arrest with immediate degeneration into ventricular fibrillation.
Pulseless VT in a conscious patient but in in shock.
With pulse, relatively stable , not much fall in blood pressure.
Incidentally detected.*(Rare)
This , gives us an idea that VT as an [...]
