Overview
Ischemic heart disease is a common cause of ventricular tachycardia. Other causes of ventricular tachycardia include congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease, dilated non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, sarcoidosis, infiltrative cardiomyopathy, inflammatory cardiomyopathy, and inherited channelopathies. In addition, illicit drug use with sympathetic activity such as cocaine and methamphetamine, and drugs with QT interval prolongation effect and also electrolyte disturbances such as hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalcemia may cause ventricular tachycardia.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. They are mainly due to acute conditions that promote rapid dysfunction of automaticity and include:[1][2][3][4]
Common Causes
- Acid-base disturbances
- Antiarrhythmics
- Azithromycin
- Cardioversion
- Clarithromycin
- Claritin
- Cocaine
- Congestive heart failure
- Dilated cardiomyopathy
- Erythromycin
- Hypokalemia
- Hypomagnesemia
- Myocarditis
- Obstructive sleep apnea
