? What are the common symptoms of ventricular tachycardia

Common symptoms of ventricular tachycardia include palpitations, chest discomfort, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting (syncope), and in severe cases, cardiac arrest. Patients may also experience symptoms related to decreased cardiac output such as shortness of breath and fatigue.

?How is ventricular tachycardia diagnosed

Ventricular tachycardia is typically diagnosed through electrocardiography (ECG/EKG), which shows characteristic rapid, wide QRS complexes. Additional diagnostic tests such as Holter monitoring, event monitoring, electrophysiology studies, and imaging modalities like echocardiography and cardiac MRI may also be used to assess underlying cardiac structure and function, identify potential triggers, and guide treatment decisions.
