Overview

There are no specific echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with pulseless ventricular tachycardia. However, echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the evaluation of underlying etiologies in patients as well as complications due to the arrhythmia.

Echocardiography/Ultrasound

There are no specific echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with pulseless ventricular tachycardia. However, echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the evaluation of underlying etiologies in patients as well as complications due to the arrhythmia. Findings on echocardiography that may suggest an underlying etiology include;

• Problem with left ventricular systolic function
• Presence or absence of associated left ventricular wall motion abnormalities
• Myocardial infiltrative process.

2017 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline for Management of Patients With Ventricular Arrhythmias and the Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death

Class I

"1. Echocardiography is recommended for evaluation of structure and function in patients with ventricular arrhythmias who are suspected of having structural heart disease. (Level of Evidence B)"
