Ventricular Tachycardia Management

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Ventricular tachycardia is a potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmia. On the ECG, ventricular tachycardia can be defined as three or more ventricular ectopic beats occurring in a sequence at a rate more than 100 per minute. Another rare form of ventricular tachycardia is bidirectional ventricular tachycardia.

Pediatric Exercise Testing

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

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. Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia is the classical arrhythmia noted in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.

Ebstein’s Anomaly of Tricuspid Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Electrophysiological study will show that, and this pathway can be ablated. This is one important cause of supraventricular tachycardia in Ebstein’s anomaly. Periprocedural electrophysiological study and ablation of potential arrhythmic circuits, have been suggested as a preventive strategy.

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.
