A member asked:

Does non sustained v-tach require a referral to an electrophysiologist if no evidence of structural heart disease is found?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ira Friedlander answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

No: Non sustained VT (depending on the rate and duration) is not a worrisome finding in patients without structural heart disease or syncope (passing out.) This would not require a referral to an EP.
