Ventricular tachyarrhythmia is an important cause of morbidity and sudden death. Although implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) reduces the risk of arrhythmic death, ICD therapies are associated with an increased mortality and worsening quality of life. Antiarrhythmic drugs may be effective in preventing arrhythmia recurrences but have an increased adverse effects and non-cardiac mortality. Catheter ablation has evolved into an effective intervention in patients with and without structural heart disease. This monograph is a collection of thought-provoking challenging case scenarios. These cases emphasize important electrocardiographic and anatomic features, illustrating crucial diagnostic maneuvers, mapping techniques, imaging integration, as well as formulating the ablation strategies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead

D017180 Tachycardia, Ventricular An abnormally rapid ventricular rhythm usually in excess of 150 beats per minute. It is generated within the ventricle below the BUNDLE OF HIS, either as autonomic impulse formation or reentrant impulse conduction. Depending on the etiology, onset of ventricular tachycardia can be paroxysmal (sudden) or nonparoxysmal, its wide QRS complexes can be uniform or polymorphic, and the ventricular beating may be independent of the atrial beating (AV dissociation).
