Ventricular tachycardia can result when a rapid rhythm originates in the ventricles.
The ventricles respond by pumping faster than the atria, which can cause weakness, dizziness, and fainting from inefficient delivery of oxygen-enriched blood to the body. If left untreated, ventricular tachycardia may lead to a more life-threatening condition. Best of luck and take care. All rights reserved.
