In this episode, we explore the definitions, mechanisms, and management of ventricular tachycardia (VT). What is the significance of sustained vs non-sustained VT, and monomorphic vs polymorphic VT? How is VT storm defined in patients without implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) vs those with ICDs? What are common doses of medications for VT storm? What are examples of appropriate and inappropriate shocks? What should you do about ICD shocks? What morphologies in lead aVR allow you to distinguish between VT and SVT with aberrancy? Tune in for answers to these questions.
