Bidirectional Ventricular Tachycardia? [PDF]
A 65‐year‐old woman was admitted to the hospital because of a syncopal episode with documented transient complete atrioventricular block. A DDD pacemaker was implanted. Post implantation, the patient was diagnosed with bidirectional ventricular tachycardia. Analysis of the arrhythmia and differential diagnosis is performed.

Role of signal averaging of the surface QRS complex in selecting patients with nonsustained ventricular tachycardia and high grade ventricular arrhythmias for programmed ventricular stimulation [PDF]
Signal averaging of the surface QRS complex was performed before programmed ventricular stimulation in 53 individuals with high grade ventricular arrhythmias or nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, or both. An abnormal signal-averaged electrocardiogram (

Every face tells a story-unravelling a case of bidirectional ventricular tachycardia
Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia is a rare form of tachycardia. We hereby report a case of bidirectional ventricular tachycardia in an 8-year-old boy wherein careful clinical exami-nation led to the diagnosis of Andersen Tawil syndrome.

Model of unidirectional block formation leading to reentrant ventricular tachycardia in the infarct border zone of postinfarction canine hearts [PDF]
BackgroundWhen the infarct border zone is stimulated prematurely, a unidirectional block line (UBL) can form and lead to double-loop (figure-of-eight) reentrant ventricular tachycardia (VT) with a central isthmus.
