Efficacy of antiarrhythmic drugs in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular disease. Results in patients with inducible and noninducible ventricular tachycardia.
BACKGROUND Ventricular tachyarrhythmias are the major clinical manifestation of arrhythmogenic right ventricular disease. Although antiarrhythmic therapy has been widely advocated, there is only limited information available on the efficacy of antiarrhythmic drugs in these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS The short- and long-term efficacies of various antiarrhythmic agents were retrospectively a...
متن کاملAntiarrhythmic Drug Therapy for Recurrent Ventricular Tachycardia
We performed intracardiac electrophysiologic studies in 33 patients with recurrent ventricular tachycardia. Nineteen patients underwent one, 10 patients two, and four patients three serial electrophysiologic studies. Ventricular tachycardia was successfully induced in 83% of the patients, and pacing methods were successful in terminating tachycardia in 71% of the studies, although pacing-induce...
متن کاملQT dispersion in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.
AIMS Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a rarely diagnosed cardiomyopathy, but a frequent cause of ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. QT interval dispersion, measured as an interlead variability of QT, is a marker of dispersion of ventricular repolarization and, hence, of electrical instability. The present study was conducted to assess the occurrence of QT dispersion a...
متن کاملCardioangiographic findings in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.
The dimension, contractility, and regional wall motion of the right and left ventricles were scored on the angiograms of 13 patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. In 10 patients the right ventricle was enlarged, in eight the contractility of the right ventricle was reduced, and in all but one patient there were regional wall motion abnormalities of the right ventricle. The mo...
