Overview

Echocardiography can be performed in the patient with ventricular tachycardia to rule out structural abnormalities such as a right ventricular cardiomyopathy and silent ischemia on stress testing. Coronary arteriography is often performed in the patient with ventricular tachycardia to rule out obstructive coronary artery disease.

Echocardiography

Echocardiography is an available and helpful modality for diagnosis and predicting the underlying causes of ventricular tachycardia and sudden cardiac arrest. Findings on an echocardiography include:

"1. Echocardiography is recommended in patients with ventricular arrhythmias who are suspected of having structural heart disease. (Level of Evidence B)"
