==Overview==
==Overview==
Common causes of ventricular tachycardia include [[ischemic heart disease]], illicit drugs ([[cocaine]] and [[methamphetamine]]), [[structural heart disease]] (including [[congenital heart disease]]s such as [[tetralogy of Fallot]]), inherited [[channelopathies]], [[drug toxicity]] ([[digoxin]], drugs that [[prolong the QT interval]]) and [[electrolyte disturbances]] (such as [[hypokalemia]], [[hypomagnesemia]], and [[hypocalcemia]]).
[[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]].

===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:<ref name="AjijolaTung2014">{{cite journal|last1=Ajijola|first1=Olujimi A.|last2=Tung|first2=Roderick|last3=Shivkumar|first3=Kalyanam|title=Ventricular tachycardia in ischemic heart disease substrates|journal=Indian Heart Journal|volume=66|year=2014|pages=S24–S34|issn=00194832|doi=10.1016/j.ihj.2013.12.039}}</ref><ref name="Meja LopezMalhotra2019">{{cite journal|last1=Meja Lopez|first1=Eliany|last2=Malhotra|first2=Rohit|title=Ventricular Tachycardia in Structural Heart Disease|journal=Journal of Innovations in Cardiac Rhythm Management|volume=10|issue=8|year=2019|pages=3762–3773|issn=21563977|doi=10.19102/icrm.2019.100801}}</ref><ref name="CoughtrieBehr2017">{{cite journal|last1=Coughtrie|first1=Abigail L|last2=Behr|first2=Elijah R|last3=Layton|first3=Deborah|last4=Marshall|first4=Vanessa|last5=Camm|first5=A John|last6=Shakir|first6=Saad A W|title=Drugs and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia risk: results from the DARE study cohort|journal=BMJ Open|volume=7|issue=10|year=2017|pages=e016627|issn=2044-6055|doi=10.1136/bmjopen-2017-016627}}</ref><ref name="El-Sherif2001">{{cite journal|last1=El-Sherif|first1=Nabil|title=Mechanism of Ventricular Arrhythmias in the Long QT Syndrome: On Hermeneutics|journal=Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology|volume=12|issue=8|year=2001|pages=973–976|issn=1045-3873|doi=10.1046/j.1540-8167.2001.00973.x}}</ref>

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

Causes by Organ System

Cardiovascular Acute coronary syndrome, Andersen cardiodysrhythmic periodic paralysis, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, AV block, Brugada syndrome, cardiomyopathy, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, congenital heart disease, congestive heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertensive heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, ischemic heart disease, Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome, long QT syndrome, mitral valve prolapse, myocardial infarction, myocarditis, noncompaction cardiomyopathy, NSTEMI, QT lengthening, right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia, Romano-Ward syndrome, short QT syndrome, short QT syndrome type 1, short QT syndrome type 2, short QT syndrome type 3, short QT syndrome type 4, short QT syndrome type 5, STEMI, Timothy syndrome, torsade de pointes, unstable angina, valvular heart disease, ventricular aneurysm, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
