How to Diagnose Ventricular Tachycardia
A physician will most likely rely on an electrocardiograph (ECG), a measure of the electrical activity of the heart as it contracts, to diagnose this condition. Some patients may be asked to wear a portable ECG to record their heart rate for 24 hours. A doctor may also insert a catheter into the heart to get a better image of the organ. Other tests could include an exercise stress test , to test the heart's performance, or an electrophysiology test , an in-depth study of the electrical signals of the heart.
