Short-onset ventricular tachycardia refers to three or more premature ventricular contractions that occur consecutively within 30 seconds, also known as nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. It usually terminates spontaneously within 30 seconds after a natural attack. Patients sometimes have no clinical symptoms, and some patients may experience panic and chest tightness during the attack. Short bursts of ventricular tachycardia can be detected during 24-hour ECG monitoring, suggesting that the patient may have heart disease. Short-onset ventricular tachycardia often occurs in patients with various organic heart diseases, such as coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, hypertension, mitral valve prolapse, heart valve disease, and long QT interval. The patient’s heart rate is usually greater than 100 beats per minute during an attack, and once short bouts of ventricular tachycardia occur, they need to be treated accordingly. If the patient does not have organic disease, short-onset ventricular tachycardia occurs, and the patient is asymptomatic and has no hemodynamic changes, he can be treated with oral propranolol, propafenone and other drugs as prescribed by the doctor, and also avoid triggering factors, such as do not drink coffee, avoid straining, do not stay up late, etc. For patients with organic diseases and clear etiology, targeted treatment should be given, and intravenous injection of lidocaine, beta-blockers, amiodarone and other drugs can be administered under the guidance of a doctor. It is also necessary to eliminate the causative factors, especially the short-onset ventricular tachycardia caused by low potassium and digitalis toxicity, and also need to actively treat the original disease, correct heart failure, control blood pressure and treat short-onset ventricular tachycardia. It is also necessary to prevent the occurrence of ventricular tachycardia to prevent sudden cardiac death. In conclusion, short bursts of ventricular tachycardia are dangerous and need to be seen by a hospital as soon as possible.
