Radiofrequency Ablation in Frequent Ventricular Ectopy
Ventricular premature beats (VPBs), also referred to as ventricular premature complexes are early depolarization’s of ventricular myocardium arising in a variety of situations. VPCs/NSVT are common and occur in a broad spectrum of the population including patients without structural heart disease and those with any form of cardiac disease, independent of severity [1]. The incidence of VPBs in s...
متن کاملRadiofrequency ablation of premature ventricular ectopy improves the efficacy of cardiac resynchronization therapy in nonresponders.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to examine whether suppressing premature ventricular contractions (PVC) using radiofrequency ablation improves effectiveness of the cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in nonresponders. BACKGROUND CRT is an effective strategy for drug refractory congestive heart failure. However, one-third of patients with CRT do not respond clinically, and the causes for nonr...
متن کاملRadiofrequency Ablation In Ventricular Fibrillation
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is the most common arrhythmic cause of sudden cardiac death. The present recommendation for prevention of VF is ICD implantation. However, ICDs are costly; the shocks they give are often very uncomfortable for the patient and they may need reimplantation if there is battery depletion. Radiofrequency ablation of VF was pioneered by Haissaguerre1 and is presently bei...
متن کاملLeft ventricular dysfunction resulting from frequent unifocal ventricular ectopics with resolution following radiofrequency ablation.
A case is presented, in which asymptomatic but persistent right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) ectopics resulted in left ventricular (LV) dilatation and systolic dysfunction. The patient underwent extensive investigation with no other cause for the cardiomyopathy being found. Successful ablation of the RVOT ectopic focus resulted in normalization of LV size and function. This case suggests th...
متن کاملIs ventricular ectopy a legitimate target for ablation?
Radiofrequency ablation has an established role in the treatment of non-ischaemic ventricular tachycardia. A few patients present with symptomatic but benign ventricular ectopy that can be mapped to the right ventricular outflow tract. The successful use of radiofrequency ablation in a patient with drug resistant, symptomatic ventricular ectopy is reported. Radiofrequency ablation may have a us...
