Supports PVC ablation for recurrent VF in nonischemic cardiomyopathy; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Case Report (n=1)
Catheter ablation can successfully treat recurrent focal ventricular fibrillation triggered by unifocal premature ventricular complexes in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.
Kirubakaran et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy with recurrent ventricular fibrillation (n=1). Radiofrequency catheter ablation was evaluated on Cessation of PVCs and prevention of further VF. Radiofrequency catheter ablation of unifocal premature ventricular complexes successfully eliminated recurrent ventricular fibrillation in a patient with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.
