Determinants of postinfarction ventricular tachycardia.
BACKGROUND Structural factors contributing to the development of postinfarction ventricular tachycardia (VT) are unclear. The purpose of this study was to analyze infarct architecture and electrogram characteristics in patients with and without inducible VT and to identify correlates of postinfarction VT. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-four postinfarction patients (median age, 64 [53, 70] years) ...
متن کاملPostinfarction sudden death: significance of inducible ventricular tachycardia and infarct size in a conscious canine model.
The relationship between inducible ventricular tachycardia in the convalescent phase of myocardial infarction and subsequent spontaneous ventricular fibrillation is uncertain. Thirty conscious instrumented dogs underwent programmed ventricular stimulation 5 days after anterior infarction; 15 had inducible ventricular tachycardia and 15 were noninducible. Following programmed ventricular stimula...
متن کاملInfarct Age and Reproducibility of Ventricular Tachycardia Induction*
Experimental versus clinical ventricular tachycardia. Several animal models of ventricular tachycardia associated with myocardial infarction have been utilized to define the mechanism of ventricular tachycardia and develop improved therapy for this arrhythmia (l-3). Although these models have increased our understanding of the mechanism of ventricular tachycardia in humans, they all differ in s...
متن کاملLarge Infarct Induce Ventricular Tachycardia
Background. Previous studies have demonstrated that both ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) may begin as figure-eight reentry: VT with a longer cycle length from spared tissue adjacent to an infarct by programmed stimulation and VF with a shorter cycle length from noninfarcted tissue by a large premature S2 stimulus. These results suggest that the type of tissue or c...
متن کاملPATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY VENTRICULAR Quantitative analysis of myocardial infarct structure in patients with ventricular tachycardia
To study whether myocardial infarction differs in patients with and without ventricular tachycardia, the hearts of 22 deceased patients with ventricular tachycardia and 21 deceased control patients were analyzed quantitatively. The hearts from the ventricular tachycardia group were heavier and more dilated than those from the control group. Histologic analysis of a representative cross section ...
