Ventricular Tachycardia Management

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in the setting of acute myocardial ischemia can also be treated by intravenous lignocaine bolus followed by infusion. Predisposing causes for ventricular tachycardia like ischemia and electrolyte imbalance has to be treated simultaneously to prevent recurrence.

Pediatric Exercise Testing

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Pediatric exercise testing may be used for evaluation of various disorders of cardiac rhythm rather than for inducible ischemia as in adults. This measurement has been correlated with those made at electrophysiology study and may predict the potential risk of rapid anterograde conduction if the person develops atrial fibrillation.

Brugada Syndrome: Diagnosis and Risk Stratification

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

This is mainly to account for the individual variation in anatomical location of right ventricular outflow tract, the main location of electrophysiological abnormalities in Brugada syndrome. Opinion is divided on the need for electrophysiology study.
