pulseless ventricular tachycardia
Pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a serious heart condition characterized by a rapid heartbeat originating from the lower chambers of the heart, known as the ventricles. In this state, the heart cannot effectively pump blood, leading to a lack of pulse and reduced blood flow to vital organs. This can result in loss of consciousness and, if not treated promptly, can be life-threatening.
Treatment for pulseless VT typically involves immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of a defibrillator to restore a normal heart rhythm. Emergency medical services should be contacted immediately, as timely intervention is crucial for survival and recovery.
