From: various places .....
Another consideration is the effect of bank on Vmca which is quite significant.

If the aircraft is at low speed, as it probably would be, then bank into the dead engine will result in an increase in realworld Vmca ... bank too far ..... Vmca increases substantially ...... if the increase is to a speed in excess of where you are at the moment .... then you might very well be surprised to find that the situation takes a turn for the worst .... so to speak ....
