Final answer:

Ventricular tachycardia with a short QT interval is a specific type of ventricular tachycardia associated with the genetic condition of short QT syndrome.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ventricular tachycardia is an abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and regular heartbeat originating from the ventricles, the lower chambers of the heart.

Short QT syndrome is a rare inherited disorder that causes a shortened QT interval on an electrocardiogram (ECG), which signifies faster ventricular repolarization.

Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia with a short QT interval is a specific type of ventricular tachycardia associated with the genetic condition of short QT syndrome.
