This ECG (Figure 1), recorded in the emergency room, shows a wide complex tachycardia at 205 bpm. Wide complex tachycardias are more likely to be ventricular tachycardia (VT) than supraventricular ...

THE diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia without retrograde activation of the atrium is dependent upon the location of regular atrial activity that is independent of the faster ventricular rate. The ...

Ventricular tachycardia arises from an abnormal electrical focus or circuit in the myocardium of the ventricle and is usually manifested as a tachyarrhythmia with a wide QRS complex on ...

Ablation strategies for almost all types of ventricular tachycardias have now been established. The optimal ablation strategy for ventricular tachycardia is determined by the site of origin and the ...

Patients with structural heart disease are at risk for life-threatening ventricular tachycardias (VTs). Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) can terminate VT, but often at the cost of ...

The term 'ventricular arrhythmias' incorporates a wide spectrum of abnormal cardiac rhythms, from single premature ventricular complexes to sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT), ...

A new multicenter trial has used a new ablation technique for patients with ventricular tachycardia, an abnormally rapid heart rhythm that is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death worldwide. A first ...
