متن کاملAcute right ventricular failure complicating catheter ablation for right ventricular tachycardia
Introduction Catheter ablation is an important treatmentmodality formanagement of ventricular arrhythmias in the setting of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks and ventricular tachycardia (VT) storm. The frequency of patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy requiring ablation for ventricular arrhythmias is increasing.Arrhythmias of right ventricular (RV) origin are less common t...
