==Overview==
'''For patient information, click [[Ventricular tachycardia (patient information)|here]]'''
'''Ventricular tachycardia''' ('''V-tach''' or '''VT''') is a [[tachycardia]], or fast heart rhythm that originates in one of the [[left ventricle|ventricles]] of the [[heart]]. This is a potentially life-threatening arrhythmia because it may lead to [[ventricular fibrillation]] and [[sudden cardiac death|sudden death]].
