Overview
The symptoms of ventricular tachycardia will depend on the ventricular rate, the duration of tachycardia, and the presence of underlying disease. In general, the symptoms include shortness of breath, weakness, palpitations, fatigue, and syncope.
History and Symptoms
- Symptoms depend on:
- Ventricular rate
- Duration of tachycardia
- Presence and extent of the underlying heart disease and peripheral vascular disease.
- Common symptoms of ventricular tachycardia include:[1][2]
- Palpitations
- Weakness
- Fatigue
- Chest pain
- Shortness of breath
- Light-headedness (dizziness)
- Syncope
- Neck fullness due to jugular venous distension.
