📋Overview
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a type of rapid heart rhythm originating from the ventricles, the lower chambers of the heart. It is characterized by a fast heart rate that can impair the heart's ability to pump blood effectively. VT is a potentially serious arrhythmia that can occur in the context of structural heart disease or, less commonly, in structurally normal hearts.
