Overview
Natural History
Complications
Common complications of ventricular tachycardia include:[1]
- Sudden cardiac death
- Cardiomyopathy
- Infection related to implantable cardioverter defibrillator
- V-Fib
Prognosis
- Prognosis of ventricular tachycardia in patients largely depends upon the presence and severity of underlying cardiac disease.[2]
- In patients without evidence of ischemia or structural heart disease, prognosis is generally good.
- Meanwhile, patients with underlying cardiac pathology may require lifelong medical therapy with medications, catheter ablation, and/or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) placement.
