Key result
Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia had higher exercise inducibility (100%) compared to right (68%) and left (41%) ventricular tachycardia, with no difference in programmed stimulation.

Exercise testing may aid VT subtyping in children with idiopathic cases; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective validation before guiding management.
Observational (n=46)
In children with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia, exercise inducibility is highest in polymorphic VT, and radiofrequency ablation is an effective treatment for monomorphic variants, especially when guided by 3D mapping.
Fukuhara et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (n=46). Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia had higher exercise inducibility (100%) compared to right (68%) and left (41%) ventricular tachycardia, with no difference in programmed stimulation.
