Bidirectional Ventricular Tachycardia [PDF]
![Figure][1] Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia is a hallmark of severe digitalis toxicity. The 12-lead electrocardiogram obtained from a 54-year-old man with acute heart failure and digitoxin intoxication shows typical features of this potentially life-threatening arrhythmia: a ...

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

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.

Cardiac Transplantation for Refractory Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia
We present a patient with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia who failed maximal antiarrhythmic drug therapy and bilateral sympathetic denervation, who presented with syncope and recurrent ventricular tachycardia for 11 min refractory ...

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.

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.

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.

Is narrow qrs complex tachyarrythmia always from supraventricular?
Idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia (previously known as fascicular VT) is characterized by right bundle branch block (RBBB) left axis ventricular tachycardia (VT) with a relatively narrow QRS (120–140 ms) in young patients and sensitive to verapamil.

Clinical and molecular characterization of a cardiac ryanodine receptor founder mutation causing catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia [PDF]
Background Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a difficult-to-diagnose cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD). We identified a family of 1400 individuals with multiple cases of CPVT, including 36 SCDs during youth.
