This review provides an overview of the clinical characteristics, diagnostic algorithms, and ablation strategies for idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias.
Synthesizes diagnostic and ablation approaches for idiopathic VT/PVCs; leaves open prospective validation of algorithms.
Idiopathic ventricular premature contractions (VPCs), defined as VPCs in the absence of obvious structural heart disease, are one of the common types of arrhythmia in clinical practice. They are sometimes complicated with non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT), and/or sustained VT with almost same QRS morphology in 12 leads ECG. Idiopathic VT (IVT) commonly occurs by focal mechanisms and the origins are distributed in a variety of sites in both ventricles. In this article, the clinical characteristics of IVT/IVPCs, the diagnostic algorithm, and how to ablate them will be reviewed.
