Response to letters regarding article, "long-term arrhythmia-free survival in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction and no inducible ventricular tachycardia after myocardial infarction".
BACKGROUND A negative electrophysiology study (EPS) may delineate a subgroup of patients with severely impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) whose care can be safely managed long-term without an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction und...
متن کاملRight ventricular dysfunction predisposes to inducible ventricular tachycardia at electrophysiology studies in patients with acute ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.
BACKGROUND Inducible ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a strong predictor of spontaneous ventricular tachyarrhythmia following ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. Reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) predisposes patients to inducible VT after ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. However, the role of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in predisposing to inducible VT has n...
متن کاملThe Effect of Opium Addiction on Cardiac Arrhythmia after Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background & Aims: This study was carried out to assess the effect of opium addiction on the incidence of different types of arrhythmias after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: The study population consisted of 200 patients with first AMI admitted within 6 hours of the onset of chest pain to the coronary care units (CCU) of two hospitals affiliated to Kerman University of Medical Scie...
متن کاملSurgical ablation of ventricular tachycardia with sequential map-guided subendocardial resection: electrophysiologic assessment and long-term follow-up.
A new operative technique of sequential map-guided subendocardial resection (SER) was used in 45 consecutive patients for the treatment of sustained ventricular tachycardia due to coronary artery disease. This technique is characterized by map-guided SER or cryothermic ablation during normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, followed by repeated sequences of programmed stimulation to assess adequac...
متن کاملIndications for and long-term survival in patients with automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.
Automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (AICDs) were implanted in 378 men and 95 women, mean age 69 +/- 12 years. At 3.6-year follow up, survival was 76% in patients who had an AICD because of cardiac arrest as a result of ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia not resulting from a transient or reversible cause; 85% in patients who had an AICD because of spontaneous susta...
