Nonsustained Ventricular Tachycardia [PDF]
Nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) has been recorded in a wide range of conditions, from apparently healthy individuals to patients with significant heart disease. In the absence of heart disease, the prognostic significance of NSVT is debatable. When detected during exercise, and especially at recovery, NSVT indicates increased cardiovascular

Ventricular arrhythmias, particularly ventricular tachycardia, are ubiquitously linked to 300,000 deaths annually. However, the current interventional procedure—the cardiac ablation—predict only short-term responses to treatment as the heart constantly ...

Ventricular tachycardia at will
An unusual case of ventricular tachycardia, produced at will, due to positional migration of the central venous catheter tip is reported. Implications of this in the genesis of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias are discussed.

Resetting of ventricular tachycardia: Implications for localizing the area of slow conduction [PDF]
Analysis of local endocardial electrograms recorded during reentrant ventricular tachycardia does not provide direct information as to the participation of the recording site in the tachycardia circuit.

Wide Complex Tachycardia – Ventricular Tachycardia or Not Ventricular Tachycardia, That Remains the Question [PDF]
Arriving at the correct diagnosis in cases of wide complex tachycardia remains problematic for many clinicians. In this paper, we review the historical development of criteria used to differentiate among the major diagnostic possibilities and compare the strengths and weaknesses of various differentiating algorithms.

Differences between patients with ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation as assessed by signal-averaged electrocardiogram, radionuclide ventriculography and cardiac mapping [PDF]
This study examined 65 patients with ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation late after myocardial infarction to determine whether they differed with respect to duration of ventricular activation in sinus rhythm and left ventricular ejection fraction ...

Pyrogen reaction and conversion of sustained ventricular tachycardia to sinus rhythm: two case reports [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Pyrogen reaction is a side effect of intravenous infusion of solution on body; sustained ventricular tachycardia is a serious arrhythmia, no relationship between them has been reported before.

Autonomie control of ventricular tachycardia. III. Effects of adenosine and N6-R-1-phenyl-2-propyladenosine [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to determine whether adenosine or the adenosine deaminase-resistant analogue, N6-R-1-phenyl-2-propyladenosine (RPIA), could slow the rate of spontaneous ventricular tachycardia occurring 24 hours after left anterior ...

Idiopathic Ventricular Tachycardia
Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an important cause of morbidity and less commonly, mortality in patients with structurally normal hearts. Appropriate diagnosis and management are predicated on an understanding of the mechanism, relevant cardiac anatomy, and associated ECG signatures. Catheter ablation is a viable strategy to adequately treat
