Overview
Reversible/preventible risk factors for ventricular tachycardia include electrolyte disturbances such as hypokalemia, digitalis toxicity, antiarrhythmic use, pulmonary artery catheter placement and illicit drug use such as cocaine. Irreversible causes include structural heart disease and inherited channelopathies.
