Triggers of Sustained Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia Differ Among Patients with Varying Etiologies of Left Ventricular Dysfunction

Triggers of Sustained Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia Differ Among Patients with Varying Etiologies of Left Ventricular Dysfunction

Background: The mechanisms underlying the initiation of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) have not been fully elucidated. The extent to which reentry, abnormal automaticity, and triggered activity play a role in VT differs depending on the etiology of left ventricular dysfunction. By analyzing...
