چکیده

Primary tumors of the heart are rare, but they are often associated with refractory arrhythmias. Vascular tumors of the heart comprise a small minority of primary cardiac tumors. In patients with structurally normal hearts, ventricular tachycardia (VT) originating from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) can be sensitive to adenosine, vagal maneuvers, and calcium channel blockers. In this report, we describe a case of ventricular tachycardia originating from within a hemangioma in the RVOT that was ultimately controlled with verapamil.

Adenosine-sensitive ventricular tachycardia from the anterobasal left ventricle.

OBJECTIVES This study demonstrates that exercise-provocable tachycardia resembling right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia may originate from the anterobasal left ventricle. BACKGROUND Reentry is the operative mechanism of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia, with a QRS complex of right bundle branch block and superior axis that is responsive to verapamil but not adenosine. Whether so...

Gender differences in idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias.

ustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) is most often related to myocardial structural heart disease, including a healed myocardial infarction, and cardiomyopathies. However, no apparent structural abnormalities are identified in approximately 10% of all cases of sustained monomorphic VT in the United States1 and in 20% of those in Japan.2 These cases of VT are referred to as “idiopat...

Ventricular tachycardia in structurally normal hearts: recognition and management.

Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia is a defined set of tachycardias when structural or pathological cause has been ruled out for the same. This paper tries to define and classify these arrhythmias to organize a logical therapeutic approach to deal with them. 60-80% of the idiopathic tachycardias originate from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and in 10% from the left ventricular outfl...

Ventricular fibrillation treated by cryotherapy to the right ventricular outflow tract: a case report

BACKGROUND Arrhythmias originating from the right ventricular outflow tract are generally considered benign but cases of cardiac arrest have been described, usually associated with polymorphic ventricular tachycardia or extrasystoles with short coupling intervals. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 54-year-old Caucasian woman with symptomatic right ventricular outflow tract arrhythmias...

Two unusual cases of coincident atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia.

The simultaneous occurrence of narrow and wide QRS complex tachycardias was observed in 2 patients evaluated at our electrophysiological centers. Electrophysiological testing revealed the coexistence of two types of arrhythmia (atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia and verapamil-sensitive left ventricular tachycardia) in one patient and of three types of arrhythmia (atrioventricular noda...
