Often seen as an option of last resort for ventricular tachycardia, new research suggests catheter ablation could have a ...

Distinguishing between supraventricular tachycardia ... may be either ventricular (VT) or supraventricular (SVT), and telling them apart is key to proper treatment, but it’s not always possible ...

is an inherited heart disease characterized by irregular rhythms and right ventricular dysplasia. Sequence variations in desmosomal protein-encoding genes are linked to ARVC development. Effective ...

and treatment measures. Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) is a congenital heart defect characterised by a hole in the septum, the wall that divides the two lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart.

Left untreated, ventricular tachycardia can trigger a medical emergency known as ventricular fibrillation (V-fib). With V-fib, the heart will not only beat rapidly but also beat erratically. Even with ...

Given the nonsustained ventricular tachycardia, hypotension, and findings on cardiovascular MRI, giant-cell myocarditis was suspected, and empirical treatment was initiated with one dose of an ...

Currently, conventional electrocardiography (ECG) is used to detect premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). However, as explained by the COR-ITACA group of the UPV, its results can be limited ...

These data suggest that VT rate and duration and other common clinical variables may not be sufficiently robust discriminators for the risk of syncope and hence, ICD design and programming.

Background: Encouraging results have been reported for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT) with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with 25 Gy. SBRT with 12 Gy for refractory VT was ...

Gottfried, who famously voiced Iago in Disney's 1992 classic Aladdin, had been dealing with recurrent ventricular tachycardia due to myotonic dystrophy type II, his longtime friend and publicist ...

Noninducibility of any VT at PES* Established predictive value when performed from multiple sites (RV and LV) ≤3 extrastimuli Not useful for patients without inducible VT; suboptimal negative ...
