When should a ventricular tachycardia concern a person?


I have had several issues of near fainting and went to a cardiologist and had to wear a heart monitor for a month. It picked up a couple of ventricular tachycardia events when I pressed the record button for what I had been feeling.

After a nuclear test, stress test, echocardiogram and other test the doctor is believing it could be an isolated event (all test showed no damage or problems), I am middle age and in very good physical condition (biking, weight lifting) and not overweight in the least.

My question is should I be concern? It is still going on but the near fainting has not happen in a couple of months now. Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!

Ventricular tachycardia is always a concern. Have you seen a cardioelectrophysiologist? If not, see one, they are different from a cardiologist. Also I would suggest wearing a cardio net monitor for 2 weeks that gives continuous recordings 24/7 not just when you "feel" something. It is possible to have this as an isolated event. However it is concerning. I would stay away from caffine, nicotine ( drugs of course ) and cold medicines that have sudephrine in them

When it becomes ventricular tachycardia without a pulse. Just kidding, but no, really it should be a concern. There are treatments like ablasions that can remove the offending cells or meds to control it. The best thing you've done is keep healthy and consult your doctor.
If you have weakness, dizziness, pass out, have chest pains or shortness of breath call 911.

You've nearly fainted multiple times (...I have had several issues of near fainting...) and was documented and confirmed to have Ventricular Tachycardia (...picked up a couple of ventricular tachycardia events...), a potentially lethal cardiac rhythm.

This part, I don't understand (...the doctor is believing it could be an isolated event...) as it was already disproven by the first passage. It is not isolated because you get them all the time.

First order of business is to get a second opinion, because what you obviously need is to have an implantable defibrillator put in before you drop dead.

grab your own echo results and look at the technical report, you will be amazed at what doctors consider "looks fine"!
