A member asked:

What to do if i have nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, would this be classed as a long term heart disease?

Yes: this has to be studied and to try and determine why this occurred. VT can be dangerous if it becomes sustained. Speak to a cardiologist about the plans for you , they may consider placing an internal monitor that fires when you go into a VT.
