My father 70yr , diagnosed ventricular bigeminy.is it dangerous?can amiodarone help controlling it?treatment options for ventricular tachycardia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The underlying cause for the rythm needs to be worked up and treated. If all correctable conditions are fixed., then eps may be indicated and ablation if reasonable. A defibrillator if poor heart function. Otherwise amio is reasonable but has its issues. It can affect the lungs, liver and thyroid to mention a few. Close monitoring is reccomended.
