What is Ventricular Tachycardia?

Ventricular Tachycardia is a condition where the lower part of your heart, called the ventricles, beats uncommonly fast, at over 120 beats a second. A healthy adult heart beats 60 to 100 times per minute under normal circumstances. When you have Ventricular Tachycardia, the rapid heart rate begins in these lower chambers, which is not the usual way your heart should beat.

This fast beating of the heart can cause serious problems. It leaves less time for your heart to fill with blood between beats, so less blood and oxygen are circulated throughout your body. This could make you dizzy, short of breath or even faint. In more serious instances, it could result in more dangerous heart rhythms or sudden cardiac death if it is left untreated.

Ventricular Tachycardia is serious and treatment of the root cause of this condition calls for urgent medical care. People experiencing or prone to this condition should seek regular medical advice and treatment.

Common Causes of Ventricular Tachycardia

Ventricular Tachycardia is brought on by electrical issues with the heart and are triggered by many problems. This interrupts the regular beating pattern of the heart and leads to the ventricles (lower chambers) beating too fast. Among the most major reasons for Ventricular Tachycardia are :

Coronary artery disease: It happens when blood vessels which provide your heart with oxygen and nutrients become narrowed or even blocked by buildup of plaques.
Heart failure: A weak heart which can not pump blood correctly could cause electrical problems which cause Ventricular Tachycardia.
Previous heart attack: Scar tissue in the heart may develop after a heart attack and block electrical signals.
Larger heart (cardiomyopathy): When heart muscle thickens or stretches, the heart beats abnormally.
Heart valve disease: Malfunctioning heart valves can strain the heart and cause rhythm disturbances.
Myocarditis: Inflammation of the heart muscles due to infections may cause irregular heartbeats.
Electrolyte imbalances: Minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium help your heart beat smoothly. An imbalance of these electrolytes can result in the heart to beat abnormally.
Drug use: Stimulating drugs like methamphetamine or cocaine may raise the heart rate and bring about Ventricular Tachycardia.

Symptoms

Chest pain

This is a typical symptom, particularly when your heart isn't pumping sufficient blood throughout the body. The pain could be like pressure or a pinch in your chest.

Rapid heartbeat or palpitations

You might experience racing and pounding of your heart.

Breathing problems

Your heart can not pump plenty of oxygen rich blood so you might have trouble breathing.

Dizziness/lightheadedness

Reduced blood circulation to the brain makes you faint or feel dizzy.

Fainting (syncope)

Sometimes a fast heart rate will suddenly make you lose consciousness because no oxygen reaches the brain.

Fatigue

The fewer number of oxygen molecules in your body may make you feel very tired or weak.

Sweating

The stress on the heart leads to cold sweats in many individuals with Ventricular Tachycardia.

Anxiety

A fast or irregular heartbeat can cause a feeling of panic or anxiety.

The traditional Indian system of medicine, Ayurveda, utilises herbs to improve heart health and control conditions like Ventricular Tachycardia. These are some notable herbs used in Ayurveda:

Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna): Arjuna strengthens heart muscles and supports good heart function because of its cardioprotective properties. It is used to control heart diseases and maintain cardiovascular health.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic plant which reduces stress and also helps with cardiovascular health.
Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri): Brahmi is traditionally used for cognitive function but also helps with circulation and stress reduction which are good for heart health as well.
Pippali (Piper longum): Known as long pepper, Pippali helps digestion and has been used to treat respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
Shunthi (Zingiber officinale): Shunthi (ginger) has antioxidant properties and helps digestion and better circulation.
Marich (Piper nigrum): Marich is also known as black pepper, which has antioxidant properties and can help with this condition.
