Could Right Ventricle Tachycardia In A Child Be A Matter Of Concern?
My Father just died of a massive heart attack. He has suffered from defribulation in the past but thats all. He saw his heart dr. a few weeks ago and cleared him for the next year. My 14 yr. old is experiencing a extra heart beat periodically and dr.s say he has right ventricle tachycardia. should I be concerned?

Hi,
RV Tachycardia can be serious and you definitely should be worried and he should be evaluated further. I will advise you for a cardiac MRI first to be done to evaluate any abnormality in the Right ventricle.
Kindly get it done soon. Till then he should not be doing any exercise or stress-related work. Definitive treatment will depend on the report of MRI.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
