Mechanism of sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in systemic sclerosis

Three patients with advanced systemic sclerosis and recurrent or incessant monomorphic ventricular tachycardia underwent cardiac electrophysiologic studies. Biventricular transcatheter mapping showed findings most compatible with a reentrant mechanism, which was effectively treated with transcathete...

Zusammenfassung:	Three patients with advanced systemic sclerosis and recurrent or incessant monomorphic ventricular tachycardia underwent cardiac electrophysiologic studies. Biventricular transcatheter mapping showed findings most compatible with a reentrant mechanism, which was effectively treated with transcatheter ablation.
