Ventricular Tachycardia Management

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

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.

Rate vs Rhythm Control in Atrial Fibrillation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

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.
