Cardiovascular Pharmacology
... Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a rapid heart rhythm originating within the ventricles. VT tends to disrupt the orderly contraction of the ventricular muscle, so that the ventricle’s ability to eject blood is often significantly reduced. That, combined with the excessive heart rate, can reduce the a ...
