Patients suffering recurrent Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) despite antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD), defibrillator (ICD) and catheter ablation (CA) remain at significant risk of morbidity and mortality.

Optimization of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) programming is essential to minimize inappropriate shocks, and to ensure appropriate ICD therapies are delivered for slower ventricular tachycardia (VT).

Chronic recurrent monomorphic VT like fascicular tachycardia and right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia are also amenable to electrophysiological mapping and ablation. Recurrent ventricular tachycardia in spite of radiofrequency catheter ablation needs an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.

They include medications that are not very effective and cause unpleasant side effects, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (or ICD) that provides an internal shock to correct the heartbeat, and a procedure called catheter ablation. Unfortunately, ablation also destroys healthy heart tissue in the process.

Treatment options, which consist primarily of antiarrhythmic medications, catheter ablation procedures, and autonomic modulation, are limited by mediocre effectiveness, invasiveness, and side effects including potential end-organ toxicities2-4.

Over the past years, patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) have experienced numerous improvements in different treatment modalities consisting of a mixture of surgical procedures, transcatheter interventions including ablation therapy, and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation procedures.

Radiofrequency ablation has shown some potential in disrupting ventricular tachycardia circuits, with combined endo and epicardial ablation yielding better results which could be considered at the index procedure. Additionally, the impact of sotalol and amiodarone is inconsistent with studies reporting contradictory results.

Nearly two thirds in the rhythm control strategy were on amiodarone and only 14 had catheter ablation. That is how the strategy of rhythm control by catheter ablation was thought of as a possible better strategy, though technically more challenging, not uniformly effective and having significant risk of complications.

Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are the standard of care to regulate a patient’s irregular heartbeat. The most common arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation , will affect approximately 12.1 million people in the United States by 2030, based on an estimation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

He required multiple defibrillations within a period of a few hours. This time, the arrhythmia did not spontaneously terminate — but rather degenerated to VFib, requiring defibrillation. Some episodes of PMVT would terminate spontaneously — but on many occasions, the PMVT degenerated to VFib, requiring defibrillation.
