Ventricular tachycardia is an abnormally fast heart beat (with three or more consecutive heart beats at least 100 beats per minute) that originates from one of the ventricles in the heart.

To predict arrhythmic risk in carriers of filamin C truncating variants, a novel risk predictive model was developed based on ...

Such techniques can be automatically applied using implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and offer the potential for painless termination of ventricular tachycardia (VT). Reduction in ...

Ablation sites (maroon circular tags) abolished ventricular tachycardia in this patient.

A 59-year-old female patient presented with “suspected ventricular tachycardia” on the basis of “abnormalities in long-term ECG” (Figure 1). Cryoablation of the slow pathway had already ...

For almost a year, heart issues kept Mandy LaChance from living an independent life and doing the things she enjoyed.

Figure 3. Twelve-lead ECG tracing during stress test shows the typical aspect of bidirectional ventricular tachycardia characterized by 180° alternating QRS axis on a beat-to-beat basis, with a right ...

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly common across the heart failure population. Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a feared complication that can occur in the early post-operative ...

A more severe hypertrophy and the presence of left ventricular outflow obstruction are considered diagnostic of HCM, though stress echocardiography has not been consistently used in VSB. Mitral ...

One of the most feared complications is the occurrence of thromboembolic events (mostly cerebrovascular accidents) due to left ventricular (LV) thrombus formation. The risk of LV thrombus formation is ...

Seizure-related cardiac arrhythmias are frequently reported and have been implicated as potential pathomechanisms of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). We attempted to identify clinical ...

Heart failure is a condition that occurs when the heart can’t pump as well as it should. This may happen when the heart muscle becomes weak or stiff. As a result, it doesn’t deliver enough blood to ...
