Ventricular tachycardia as a rare and fatal cause of recurrent dizziness in emergency department

Abstract

Dizziness is a non-specific complaint often used by patients to describe many symptoms. The incidence of dizziness is estimated to be between 20-30%. The life-threatening rates of diseases that cause dizziness are quite low. However, missing underlying fatal causes such as Ventricular Tachycardia will have very serious consequences. Therefore it should be kept in mind that the etiology of dizziness may include malignant and life-threatening causes such as VT. ECG should not be neglected in patients.
