Chronic recurrent ventricular tachycardia is driven by a reentry mechanism, while ventricular tachycardia within 24 hours of myocardial infarction suggests a focal origin.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Programmed electrical stimulation of the heart as a method to study mechanisms of arrthythmias is discussed in patients with ventricular tachycardia. Chronic recurrent ventricular tachycardia seems to be based on a reentry mechanism. Observations in patients with ventricular tachycardia during the first 24 hours after myocardial infarction suggest a focal origin of the arrhythmia.
Hein J.J. Wellens (Sat,) reported a other. Chronic recurrent ventricular tachycardia is driven by a reentry mechanism, while ventricular tachycardia within 24 hours of myocardial infarction suggests a focal origin.
