Re-entry ventricular arrhythmia, also known as ventricular tachycardia, is a type of heart rhythm disorder that can be life-threatening if left untreated. There are several synonyms used to describe this condition, including:
1. Ventricular fibrillation - a chaotic and disorganized heart rhythm that prevents the heart from pumping blood effectively.
2. Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia - a type of ventricular tachycardia that occurs without an apparent cause.
3. Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia - a type of ventricular tachycardia that causes the heart rate to change in a erratic manner.
4. Sustained ventricular tachycardia - a form of ventricular tachycardia that lasts longer than 30 seconds.
