Both doctors insist it's perfectly safe for pregnancy and will prevent my non-sustained VTach episodes from turning into something more serious.
Which medications and treatments given will depend on whether we are dealing with VTACH with a pulse, or pulseless VTACH or VFIB. Defibrillation is the ultimate goal with unstable or pulseless ventricular arrhythmias because defibrillation can restore a perfusing rhythm.
vs desynchronized defibrillation in pulseless monomorphic vtach. Stable V-Tach gets drugs, unstable V-Tach gets electricity. Upvote 1
