Abstract:
Current evidence indicates that ectopy is more frequent in older age groups and more likely to be detected with longer recording periods. However, the frequency of repetitive ventricular premature depolarizations does not follow the same pattern as that of unifocal PVC's. There are two methods that have been used in predicting outcome in management of these patients a) Noninvasive methods using Holter and ETTb) EPS using programmed ventricular stimulation. Cases in which ventricular tachycardia is incessant or sustained but does not cause severe hemadynamic effect, non invasive approach is preferable, other- wise EPS may be superior.
