Use of Medications or Drugs
Those people who often use or abuse stimulant drugs may be at a higher risk of having ventricular tachycardia. Substances like methamphetamine or cocaine would put more pressure on the heart, damage your heart tissue, and affect electrical signals to the ventricles. Similarly, side effects of some OTC and prescription medications would affect the heart’s electrical system. That’s why it is very important to consult your healthcare provider before taking any drugs. This is especially important when you have a history of heart conditions or an existing problem related to the cardiovascular system. [9]
