Overview

There is limited information about the historical perspective of Pulseless ventricular tachycardia.

Historical Perspective[1]

  • There is limited information about the historical perspective of Pulseless ventricular tachycardia.
  • Gallavardin in 1906 was responsible for the discovery of the rationale behind cardiac instability leading to ventricular tachycardia. He further put forth the idea that ventricular tachycardia could convert to ventricular fibrillation and lead to cardiac arrest and death.
  • The first electrographic description of ventricular tachycardia was given by Thomas Lewis in 1909.
  • Coronary occlusion was suggested to be the main cause of ventricular tachycardia in 1921.
  • Several advancements have since been made in the diagnosis and management protocols on Ventricular tachycardia.
