An errant electrical path in the heart loops the signal and causes an errant beat.

With my v-tach, I could keep riding too, didn't even notice anything at first. Occasionally it would sap all my strength for the rest of the ride, but I was in denial. The stress test after my accident is what found it, and they stopped the test in a big hurry too.
