My father,6 cardiac arrests,52yr old male,blood not showing signs of heart attack,liver & kidneys ok?
Actually in the U.S. all you have to do is call an ambulance and tell them you want to transfer your Dad out of the hospital he is in to (the hospital you want him in) and have them take him to the emergency room at the hospital you are transferring him to. The new hospital will contact a cardiologist if you don't know any and the cardiologist will contact a heart surgeon if one is needed. Your Dad may just need a change in medication to control his VT. Be sure you have your copy of medical power of attorney. Power of attorney does not cover you to do medical decisions unless it says "Medical" power of attorney. I know because I am my Father's "Medical" power of attorney and my sister is his power of attorney which are 2 separate things. Check your papers, your Dad may have to get an attorney to add that you have "medical" power of attorney also.
