Ventricular Tachycardia (V-tach) ECG Interpretation, Treatment, Nursing NCLEX Review

Ventricular tachycardia (V-tach) ECG interpretation for heart rhythms, causes, treatment, nursing interventions Next Generation NCLEX exam and ACLS review.

Ventricular tachycardia is an abnormal heart rhythm that originates from the ventricles. The electrical conduction system is sending out an abnormal electrical signal that causes the ventricles to contract rapidly.

As a result, the ventricles cannot pump blood efficiently, which can decrease cardiac output. This rhythm can occur for a short duration (such as premature ventricular contractions of 3 or more), or it can be sustained.

One important thing to remember is that ventricular tachycardia (V-tach) can have different presentations: monomorphic ventricular tachycardia and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. One type of polymorphic v-tach is known as torsades de pointes.

It is important to recognize and understand the different types, because the treatment can vary for each type.

Thank you! I had a Pt a week ago that kept going into Vtach and Tor sades with his defib firing and to top the cake off, DKA. So I just want to review cardiac stuff while I workout. So, again, thank you and continue to rock my fellow nurses!

Hey! I’m Elliana, and I have Vtach. Im 12, and I wanted to learn more about my heart problems. Thank you for this video. 🙂
If you want to know anything,
the highest i’ve seen my heart rate go is 242.
My doctor says he’s never seen anything like mine. He said that my heart rate goes up so fast.
I was in Archery practice, and I felt weird. I went to the nurse with the heart rate of 200. I want the ER, and I went home that night. The next day, I woke up, heart rate back up again. I went to the ER and stayed there for a few days. I’m on meds now, and I haven’t had n episode since august.
My doctor also says he isn’t sure what I have, but he’s learning towards Vtach. I had a ‘heart exploration’ as my mom puts it, and they couldn’t find anything.
