quando approfondire,
quando ricorrere all’ablazione?

Recidiva dopo ablazione
⇝ 14 pazienti (14.7%) hanno avuto una recidiva aritmica dopo ablazione:
» 11 (33.3%) dopo ablazione di TV e 3 (6.2%) dopo ablazione BEV (p<0.001).
⇝ 1 paziente (1%) è deceduto dopo 26 mesi per storm elettrico
⇝ la presenza di cardiopatia strutturale è un predittore indipendente
di recidiva all’analisi multivariata sec Cox (HR=5.56, CI 95% 2.68 -11.54, p<0.001).
19. CONCLUSIONI
⇝ In presenza di extrasistolia ventricolare nel giovane
bisogna identificare l’eventuale presenza di cardiopatia
⇝ L’extrasistolia ventricolare isolate a cuore sano spesso non
richiede trattamento, ma solo monitorggio periodico
⇝ L’ablazione di tachicardia ventricolare a cuore sano è efficace e
sicura anche nel giovane
⇝ La presenza di Cardiopatia strutturale è predittore di recidiva dopo
ablazione transcatetere
Editor's Notes
Illustration explaining the fundamental difference in QRS morphology between sinus rhythm and ventricular tachycardia. In sinus rhythm, the depolarisation wavefront is rapidly conducted through the Purkinje system (yellow arrow), resulting in a narrow QRS complex in the absence of bundle branch block (top). However, rhythms that originate within the ventricular muscle produce a depolarisation wavefront that propagates slowly through the myocardium before engaging the conducting system. This results in a wide QRS with initial slow onset (bottom).

figure 4 Outflow tract ventricular tachycardia. (A) Right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia—characterised by left bundle branch block morphology in lead V1, inferior axis (positive in II, III, aVF). Note also the negative QRS in aVL and aVR (superior leads) as the vector is moving inferiorly away from the positive electrodes of these leads at the left and right arms, respectively. (B) Left ventricular outflow tract tachycardia—early transition in the QRS from lead V1 to V2 is seen.
Mechanisms of ventricular arrhythmias. The most common mechanism of ventricular tachycardia is re-entry, especially in patients with structurally abnormal hearts (A). Re-entry is due to a circulating wavefront revolving around an anatomical obstacle, usually a region of scar (as shown), or region of functional conduction block. Other mechanisms include afterdepolarisations (B) and enhanced automaticity (C).
