What causes ventricular tachycardia?
The majority of the time, ventricular tachycardia is caused by underlying structural heart problems like coronary artery disease, heart attacks or heart failure. Some people may have alterations in their electrocardiogram or genetic mutations that alter the signals in the heart and increase the risk of VT. In some cases, VT can occur in people with normal hearts and no other medical problems.
