Ventricular Tachycardia in Pregnant Patients
Ventricular tachycardia although not common, can occasionally complicate pregnancy. Its presence may indicate an underlying cardiac structural abnormality, or undiagnosed congenital arrhythmic disease.

Ventricular tachycardia is rare in children. In the absence of structural heart disease, ventricular tachycardia is known as idiopathic ventricular tachycardia and carries a good prognosis.

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 ...

An automated near-real time computational method for induction and treatment of scar-related ventricular tachycardias [PDF]
Catheter ablation is currently the only curative treatment for scar-related ventricular tachycardias (VTs). However, not only are ablation procedures long, with relatively high risk, but success rates are punitively low, with frequent VT recurrence. Personalized in-silico approaches have the opportunity to address these limitations.

Background—Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is an uncommon, potentially lethal, ion channelopathy. Standard therapies have high failure rates and little is known about treatment in children.

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.

Ventricular tachycardia in infants with structurally normal heart: A benign disorder [PDF]
We evaluated the presentation, treatment, and outcome of infants who present with ventricular tachycardia in the first year of life. Seventy-six infants were admitted to our institution with a diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia between January, 1987 ...

Prevalence of Ventricular Tachycardia Reoccurrence Following Catheter Ablation in Patients With Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy: A Systematic Review [PDF]
Objective: To evaluate studies regarding the prevalence of ventricular tachycardia (VT) reoccurrence following catheter ablation in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) who present with persistent ventricular tachycardia.

Electromechanical modeling of human ventricles with ischemic cardiomyopathy: numerical simulations in sinus rhythm and under arrhythmia [PDF]
We developed a novel patient-specific computational model for the numerical simulation of ventricular electromechanics in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). This model reproduces the activity both in sinus rhythm (SR) and in ventricular tachycardia (VT).
