Ventricular Arrhythmia

Back to Glossary

Ventricular Arrhythmia

Ventricular arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms originating from the ventricles, the lower chambers of the heart. They include conditions such as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Symptoms may include palpitations, dizziness, chest pain, and loss of consciousness. Treatment options include medications, electrical cardioversion, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and catheter ablation.
