Find out what might trigger an ectopic beat -- also called an early, missed, or extra heartbeat -- and how you can treat it.

Abstract Background: Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) commonly arise from the outflow tracts of the left and right ventricles and can be treated with catheter ...

The authors discuss the mechanisms, clinical presentation, and evaluation of right ventricular failure, as well as its management.

The most common type of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias originates from the outflow tract, and shows a high incidence in young population (Sirichand et al., 2017). For this group of patients, a ...

LVOT = left ventricular outflow tract; MR = mitral regurgitation. Doppler echocardiography at rest: Trace mitral regurgitation (MR), no MR signal; left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) velocity 2 ...

As a cardiac electrophysiologist my most satisfying procedural outcomes have always involved ablation of a discrete anatomical substrate, such as the cavotricuspid isthmus in patients with typical ...

Idiopathic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) arise from the outflow tracts in more than 80% of cases, more frequently the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) (Lerman, 2015). Cardiac ...

His echocardiogram (appendix) and CMR showed a very dilated right ventricular outflow tract and impaired right ventricle (ejection fraction 30%, fractional area change [FAC] 32%). He was diagnosed ...

Conclusions— Repetitive monomorphic ventricular ectopy (in the absence of sustained ventricular tachycardia) originating from the right ventricular outflow tract is an underappreciated cause of ...

Background— Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy caused by ventricular tachycardia is a well-defined clinical entity. Less well appreciated is whether simple ventricular ectopy can result in ...
