Ventricular tachycardia is a heart rhythm disturbance that originates in the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles) and makes it beat too fast, which can compromise its ability to pump blood.

How it can show up: intense palpitations, dizziness, a feeling of fainting, shortness of breath, or chest discomfort; in some cases it requires immediate care.

When to seek help? With rapid palpitations accompanied by dizziness or fainting, urgent care is advisable; for the underlying workup, a scheduled evaluation.

Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the go-to for rhythm disturbances, and the pediatric cardiologist cares for minors, with support from the internist or the pediatrician at the first visit. Facing episodes like these, the most sensible thing is to put yourself in the hands of a heart professional.
