ABSTRACT
We aimed to evaluate trends and disparities in mortality from ventricular tachycardia in patients with underlying cardiovascular disease. We performed cross-sectional analyses using publicly available data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research database. We identified a total of 7025 deaths from ventricular tachycardia between the years 2007 and 2020. Overall, age-adjusted mortality rates increased from 0.22 in 1999 to 0.32 in 2020 (p < .05). Black female and male adults had higher age-adjusted mortality rates compared to White female and male adults, respectively (p < .05). Disproportionate age-adjusted mortality rates among male populations and Southern residents were also observed. This study demonstrated an increase in deaths related to ventricular tachycardia since 2007. Significant differences in mortality exist across racial, gender, and geographic subgroups.
