Medications can be used to help control and prevent ventricular tachycardia (VT). Additionally, catheter ablation is a recommended treatment for some types of VT. Implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) can be recommended when VT cannot be eliminated with medication and is associated with symptoms like low blood pressure and passing out. This device will treat rapid VT by delivering an electric shock to reset the heart’s rhythm.
