Recurrent ventricular tachycardia originating from the "LV summit" effectively eliminated by stereotactic irradiation - a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cardiac stereotactic body radiation therapy (cSBRT) is an innovative and promising noninvasive treatment option for recurrent, therapy-refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT). Although long term efficacy safety still under evaluation in multicenter studies, it associated with a significant short-term reduction of VT burden ICD shocks.1–3 To date cSBRT neither first line strategy ablation nor premature contractions (PVC) but encouraging results have been reported.

Cardiac sarcoidosis presenting as recurrent ventricular tachycardia: a case report
INTRODUCTION Sarcoidosis is a multi-systemic disorder involving various organ systems. Though cardiac involvement is uncommon it can present as life threatening arrhythmias and sudden death. CASE PRESENTATION Here we present 27 years old married female with a series of arrhythmias with no initially obvious aetiology. On further evaluation she was diagnosed as having cardiac sarcoidosis. CON...
متن کاملFascicular Ventricular Tachycardia Originating From Papillary Muscles
Verapamil-sensitive left fascicular ventricular tachycardia (FVT) has been shown to be a reentrant mechanism using the Purkinje network as a part of its reentrant circuit. Our understanding of this arrhythmia has been extensively developed over the past 2 decades. Radiofrequency catheter ablation is often an effective therapy for treating these arrhythmias. However, 8% to 20% of patients may de...
متن کاملIdiopathic left ventricular tachycardia originating from the mitral annulus.
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) can eliminate most idiopathic repetitive monomorphic ventricular tachycardias (RMVTs) originating from the right and left ventricular outflow tracts (RVOT, LVOT). Here, we describe the electrophysiological (EP) findings of a new variant of RMVT originating from the mitral annulus (MAVT). METHODS AND RESULTS MAVT was identified in 35 patients ...
متن کاملUnusual Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia Originating from the Pulmonary Artery
We report a case about a 27-year-old healthy young male who developed syncope during exercise, which was subsequently identified to be attributable to non-sustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). Occurrence of polymorphic VT was neither related to a prolonged QT interval nor a fixed short coupling interval. Standard examinations including echocardiography, coronary angiography, isopr...
متن کاملRepetitive monomorphic ventricular tachycardia originating from the inferior tricuspid annulus.
We report a case of an otherwise healthy 63-year-old male with incessant, highly symptomatic ventricular arrhythmia that displayed over 60,000 premature ventricular contractions and 499 runs of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) during 24 hours of ECG monitoring. The ventricular ectopy had a QRS morphology of the left bundle branch block (LBBB), however, with a superior axis. Structural...
