Acute management of ventricular tachyarrhythmias
Immediate electrical cardioversion should be performed in the context of unstable VT. On the other hand, for acute conversion of sustained, hemodynamically stable, monomorphic VT (e.g. idiopathic VT), IV beta blocker, sotalol, flecainide, procainamide, or overdrive ventricular pacing should be considered.
In the event of a cardiopulmonary arrest, standard ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) protocols should be followed including the use of medications and defibrillation.
