Ventricular tachycardia in structurally normal heart constitutes about 10% of patients with ventricular tachycardia. Echocardiogram and coronary angiorams are normal in these cases, but MRI may show subtle abnormalities. Localized sympathetic denervation may be seen in some of them. Baseline ECG normal in many situations. Following are the main types of ventricular tachycardia (VT) with [...]

Thejus et al has written an editorial on catheter ablation for prevention of recurrent ventriular fibrillation in the current issue of Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal (Thejus J et al. Indian Pacing Electrophysiol J. 2008; 8:238-241]. The current recommendation for treatment of recurrent ventricular fibrillation is the implantation of an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator). ICDs are [...]
