Nonsustained ventricular tachycardia in coronary artery disease: relation to inducible sustained ventricular tachycardia. MUSTT Investigators.
BACKGROUND Many physicians believe that electrocardiographic characteristics of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia correlate with the risk for sudden death in survivors of myocardial infarction. Sustained ventricular tachycardia induced by programmed electrical stimulation has also been shown to predict sudden death. OBJECTIVE To determine whether electrocardiographic characteristics of spo...

BACKGROUND Early reperfusion in the acute phase of myocardial infarction and better medical treatment of consequent heart failure and tachyarrhythmia have decreased the incidence of massive myocardial infarction, left ventricular (LV) aneurysm and also postinfarction-sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT). However, for a number of patients, surgical ablation combined with aneurysm resection and...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence, characteristics and the predictive value of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) for subsequent death and arrhythmic events after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND Nonsustained VT has been linked to an increased risk for sudden death in coronary patients. It is unknown whether this parameter can be used for...

Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) rarely manifest as recurrent syncope due to malignant ventricular arrhythmia. We report a case of a 56-year-old Chinese male with complaints of paroxysmal chest burning sensation and distress for 2 weeks as well as loss of consciousness for 3 days. The electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed paroxysmal multimorphologic ventricular tachycardia during attack a...
متن کاملTwo cases of ventricular tachycardia with congenital left ventricular malformation in an adult.
Two patients without any risk factors for coronary artery disease presented with symptomatic, recurrent, nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. They were found to have a postero-lateral left ventricular aneurysm and diverticulum. Coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries. The 12-lead electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm with frequent premature ventricular contractions. Their nonsus...
