VTAC and heart Damage
by Bill96, Oct 26, 2009 09:59AM
4 days ago I had VTAC....My medtronic defib went off and I went back into a sinus rhythm (I think)..I was told fluid volume was off the charts.....My electrolytes were OK..I was told to increase my diuretic and coreg...I've read that VTAC can be caused by blocked arteries, alcohol abuse and viral infections.....What shoould I do???...Should I get a cath to make sure there is no additional blockages...My EF has been measured from 15% to 24%. in the past years.......Thanks ...Bill

V tach does commonly occur due to the coronary artery disease but there can be other causes also which can play a role in the same. For e.g. emotional excitement, vagal stimulation, some drugs like digitalis, anti-arrhythmia drugs, valvular heart disease etc. You can undergo angiography but it’s usually indicated if some intervention has to be done like angioplasty/bypass etc. I think you should consult your cardiologist also and seek an opinion on the same. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
