Ventricular arrhythmias (VA) are commonly associated with structural heart disease and have substantial impact on patient outcomes and health system costs. Within the realm of cardiomyopathy (CM), there has been substantial progress with respect to ischaemic CM (ICM) in the understanding of infarct related scar biology and scar-mediated ventricular tachycardia (VT). This has led to interventions… View more

Multimodality Imaging to Guide Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Patients with Non-ischaemic Cardiomyopathy
Author(s): Ling Kuo , Jackson J Liang , Saman Nazarian , et al Added: 3 years ago
Catheter ablation has been increasingly used as a treatment for refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy (NICM). However, ablation outcomes tend to be quite variable because of the heterogeneity of the aetiology for the NICM and associated VT substrate in these patients.1–3 Patients with NICM can be sub-classified based on specific genotypic and… View more

Monomorphic ventricular arrhythmias (MMVA) are not uncommon in athletes,1,2 yet their presence appropriately raises concern among practitioners for possible increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) during sports activity and competition. While all MMVA detected in athletes warrant further evaluation,1 a majority of MMVA in this population are likely to be benign. In some instances of so… View more

Team Management of the Ventricular Tachycardia Patient
Author(s): Pok Tin Tang , Duc H Do , Anthony C Li , et al Added: 3 years ago
Ventricular arrhythmias remain a major contributor to cardiac morbidity and mortality worldwide, despite ongoing research and implementation of novel therapeutic interventions. Modern management of patients with ventricular arrhythmias requires a multidisciplinary team approach, especially in complex presentations with a background of multiple medical comorbidities.1,2 Such teams may include… View more

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is usually referred to as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D).1A first historical description was made in 1736, whereas its first modern description dates back to 1982.2 Initially, ACM was thought to be an embryological malformation.3 Yet in recent years it became evident that the pathophysiology of an ongoing genetically… View more

Cardiomyopathies are heterogeneous heart muscle disorders with a wide range of aetiologies and clinical manifestations. They are often defined by their causes (i.e. hypertension, prior myocardial infarction, valvular heart disease), although current major society definitions describe cardiomyopathy as the presence of abnormal myocardial structure and/or function in the absence of underlying… View more

With an ageing population and widespread use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, physicians are confronted with an increasing number of patients with symptomatic, drug-refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT). Catheter ablation is an important treatment option in the management of patients with structural heart disease and VT.1,2 In many patients, VT can be successfully ablated from the… View more
