As the AI indicates, VT stands for ventricular tachycardia. It is serious and they will look for the cause and decide then what to do about it. Ablation is a possibility, or perhaps they will start with medication. It depends on how it lasts each time she has it. I have VT, but it is of short duration under 30 seconds, and that is not as dangerous. I posted a video on it not long ago.
