Mechanisms of sustained ventricular tachycardia in myotonic dystrophy: implications for catheter ablation.
BACKGROUND Ventricular arrhythmias have been documented and linked to the high incidence of sudden death seen in patients with myotonic dystrophy. However, their precise mechanism is unknown, and their definitive therapy remains to be established. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 6 consecutive patients with myotonic dystrophy and sustained ventricular tachycardia by means of cardiac electrophys...
متن کاملBundle Branch Reentrant Ventricular Tachycardia
Bundle branch reentrant (BBR) tachycardia is an uncommon form of ventricular tachycardia (VT) incorporating both bundle branches into the reentry circuit. The arrhythmia is usually seen in patients with an acquired heart disease and significant conduction system impairment, although patients with structurally normal heart have been described. Surface ECG in sinus rhythm (SR) characteristically ...
متن کاملMechanism of Clinical Tachycardia
The incidence of sustained bundle branch reentrant (BBR) tachycardia as a clinical or induced arrhythmia or both continues to be underreported. At our institution, BBR has been the underlying mechanism of sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in approximately 6% of patients, whereas mechanisms unrelated to BBR were the cause in the rest. Data gathered from 20 consecutive patients showed...
متن کاملResponse to letter regarding article, "variable clinical features and ablation of manifest nodofascicular/ventricular pathways".
BACKGROUND Manifest nodofascicular/ventricular (NFV) pathways are rare. METHODS AND RESULTS From 2008 to 2013, 4 cases were identified with manifest NFV pathways from 3 centers. The clinical findings and ablation sites are reported. All 4 cases presented with a wide complex tachycardia but with different QRS morphologies. Case 1 showed a left bundle branch block/superior axis, case 2 showed a...
متن کاملPathophysiological mechanism of cardiac arrhythmias as a key for optimal nonpharmacological treatment.
Pathological automatism and triggered activity had focal origin. Thus, the treatment has to be aimed at ablation of the arrhythmogenic region. Some arrhythmogenic places can be precisely characterized by analysis of ECG patterns. Among them are foci located close to the pulmonary veins, sinus node, ventricular outflow tracts or mitroaortic commissura. Classical ablation of these loci is highly ...
