  Ventricular tachycardia is 3 consecutive ventricular beats at a rate 120 beats/minute. […] Treatment of more than brief episodes is with cardioversion or antiarrhythmics, depending on symptoms. […] If necessary, long-term treatment is with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator. […] The primary goal is preventing sudden death, rather than simply suppressing the arrhythmia. It is best accomplished by use of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). […] In the absence of a transient or reversible cause, patients who have had an episode of sustained VT typically require an ICD. […] Most patients with sustained VT and a significant structural heart disorder should also receive a beta-blocker. […] When prevention of VT is important (usually in patients who have an ICD and are having frequent episodes of VT), antiarrhythmics or transcatheter or surgical ablation of the arrhythmogenic substrate is required. […] Because beta-blockers (class II) are safe, they are the first choice unless contraindicated.

  This is the first guideline update for SVT by ESC in 16 years. Amiodarone and digoxin are no longer mentioned in the new guidelines for the acute management of narrow complex tachycardia. Sotalol and lidocaine have been removed from the acute management of wide complex tachycardia algorithm. […] Verapamil/diltiazem and catheter ablation are no longer recommended for inappropriate sinus tachycardia. Ivabradine alone, beta-blocker alone, or both agents taken together should now be considered in symptomatic patients (Class IIa). […] Catheter ablation is recommended for recurrent focal AT, especially if incessant or causing tachycardia cardiomyopathy. Beta-blockers should be considered for recurrent focal AT or atrial flutter, if ablation is not possible or successful. […] For multifocal AT, treatment of an underlying condition is recommended as a first step (Class I). Verapamil, diltiazem, or a selective beta-blocker should be considered (Class IIa).

  OBJECTIVES: Supraventricular tachycardia is the most common arrhythmia in infants, and antiarrhythmic medications are frequently used for prophylaxis. […] We used data from a large clinical registry to compare efficacy and safety of digoxin and propranolol for infant supraventricular tachycardia prophylaxis. […] We hypothesized that supraventricular tachycardia recurrence is less common on digoxin when compared with propranolol. […] On multivariable analysis, treatment failure was higher on propranolol when compared with that on digoxin (hazard ratio, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.05-3.71). […] CONCLUSIONS: Digoxin was associated with fewer episodes of supraventricular tachycardia recurrence but more frequent hypotension in hospitalized infants relative to propranolol.

  https://www.heart.org/en/health-topics/arrhythmia/about-arrhythmia/tachycardia–fast-heart-rate

  The normal rate for a heart to beat is 60-100 beats per minute. Tachycardia is when the heart beats too fast, at a rate of more than 100 beats per minute, when at rest. This can depend on age, health status and physical condition. […] SVT is a fast heart rate, greater than 100 beats per minute or more, which starts in the atria, the upper chambers of the heart. The electrical signals occur abnormally and speed up the heart rate. The rapidly beating heart prevents the heart chambers from filling completely between contractions (beats), which may compromise blood flow to the body. […] For some people, SVT/PSVT is triggered by exercise, stress or lack of sleep, while others do not notice anything at all. […] Most people with SVT/PSVT don’t need treatment. However, an episode may be stopped with one of these techniques, under the supervision of a health care professional. These affect the vagus nerve, which helps control the heartbeat.

  Ventricular tachycardia usually develops in people who already have another heart condition, like CAD or heart failure. That is why its more common in older people. […] The risk of dying from ventricular tachycardia is particularly high in adults if heart disease is causing it. Apart from treating the causes, various procedures can be done to lower the risk of ventricular tachycardia episodes. These treatments are often combined. […] Implanting a defibrillator is commonly recommended. This device can detect ventricular tachycardia and quickly stop it by giving off controlled electric shocks. […] The heart muscle tissue that’s causing the tachycardia can be destroyed (ablated). This is done using a catheter procedure called catheter ablation. […] Long-term use of medication is a good way to stabilize the heart rate in many people. For instance, sometimes children and teenagers who regularly take medication don’t need a defibrillator as a result.

  Ventricular tachycardia is a common arrhythmia in patients with structural heart disease and heart failure, and is now seen more frequently as these patients survive longer with modern therapies. […] A coordinated team approach is therefore essential to achieve the best possible outcomes for these complex patients. […] Modern management of patients with ventricular arrhythmias requires a multidisciplinary team approach, especially in complex presentations with a background of multiple medical comorbidities. […] Antiarrhythmic medications, ICD implantation and catheter ablation are the cornerstones of current VT management. […] Caring for patients undergoing catheter ablation of VT in dedicated units with integrated multidisciplinary care has been shown to lead to improved outcomes.

  In patients with recurrent ICD shocks, reprogramming of ICDs by the EP team can help to minimise shocks. […] The use of overdrive or anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) to terminate haemodynamically stable VTs before shocks has been shown to be effective. […] In patients with SHD and VT, antiarrhythmic drugs can be used in conjunction with ICD programming to minimise shocks. […] Catheter ablation of VT has since gained an increasingly prominent role in the management of many types of VT. […] The impact of catheter ablation has been studied in a variety of causes of VT. […] In the recent Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation Versus Escalated Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy in Ischemic Heart Disease (VANISH) trial, catheter ablation was also found to be superior to escalation of antiarrhythmic therapy in reducing the incidence of a composite primary endpoint of death, VT storm and appropriate ICD shocks.

  Although ablation procedures have a relatively high success rate, a significant number of VTs remain refractory to ablation. […] In such cases, repeat ablation may be indicated. […] Autonomic modulation procedures may be indicated in the setting of ongoing refractory VT. […] It is important that in cases where these situations are anticipated, that clear discussions with patients and relatives are held in advance to explain the rationale behind clinical decision-making and to determine the wishes of the patient while they are able to communicate them.
