Local Anaesthesia Suppressing Idiopathic Ventricular Tachycardia: - A Cause of Non-inducible Arrhythmia During Electrophysiology Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 13 year old boy having idiopathic ventricular tachycardia had non-inducible tachycardia twice on electrophysiology (EP) study due to suppression of arrhythmia by local anaesthetic agent, lignocaine. This case report demonstrates a cause of non-inducibility or arrhythmia during EP study and effect of lignocaine in suppression of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia.

Management of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia guided by electrophysiological testing.
Two hundred eighty patients with spontaneous nonsustained ventricular tachycardia were treated based on the results of electrophysiological testing. Seventy-nine patients had no evidence of structural heart disease, 134 had coronary artery disease, 43 had idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, and 24 patients had miscellaneous types of heart disease. Sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia wa...
متن کاملEffects of electrophysiologic-guided therapy with Class IA antiarrhythmic drugs on the long-term outcome of patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation with or without the Brugada syndrome.
INTRODUCTION Implantation of a implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is viewed universally as the "gold standard" therapy for patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF). We sought to study the long-term value of electrophysiologic (EP)-guided therapy with Class IA antiarrhythmic drugs in patients with idiopathic VF with or without the Brugada syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS W...

AIMS We report three young patients presenting with life-threatening ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) and/or survived sudden cardiac arrest, who were admitted to our institution for further diagnostic evaluation. METHODS AND RESULTS In all patients, idiopathic left ventricular (LV) aneurysms were identified after a detailed non-invasive and invasive evaluation. Su...
متن کاملInfant ventricular fibrillation after ST-segment changes and QRS widening: a new cause of sudden infant death?
BACKGROUND Ventricular arrhythmia-related sudden cardiac arrest in infants with structurally normal hearts is rare. There have been no previously published reports of infants <3 months of age with ventricular fibrillation in which a primary diagnosis could not be defined. METHODS AND RESULTS Retrospective chart review of 3 unrelated infants <2 months of age from 3 different tertiary care cent...
متن کاملRight ventricular dysfunction predisposes to inducible ventricular tachycardia at electrophysiology studies in patients with acute ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.
BACKGROUND Inducible ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a strong predictor of spontaneous ventricular tachyarrhythmia following ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. Reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) predisposes patients to inducible VT after ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. However, the role of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in predisposing to inducible VT has n...
