<human>: I have just discovered that I have Ventricular Tachycardia. I went to have my new pacemaker of a month checked and adjusted (for complete heart block after an operation) and at the check up the technician noticed a 28 second episode and called for the dr and he consulted the Consultant. I was given Amiodorone 200mg front loaded. My question is: How much useful life have I got left to get things in order and get on with my bucket list?
<bot>: Hi, Most probably you have slow ventricular tachycardia, which wasn't intervened with your ICD. With your ICD you are relatively safe, it will terminate fast tachycardia, which are life-threatening, slow ventricular tachycardia are not as dangerous. Anyway Amiodarone will help to prevent the tachycardia. Hope I could help nourishing you good health In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask
