Entrainment of Ventricular Tachycardia in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Tachycardia

In two patients with arrhythrnogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVDJ, sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) was induced by programmed stimulations during serial drug testings. One patient had five and the other had two VT morphologies, and the sites of origin were determined by endocardial catheter mappings. When overdrive pacing was performed, constant fusion in the QflS complex was observed in the two patients. Constant fusion of a different degree was also observed at different paced cycle lengths. Both patients had dilated right ventricles and wall‐motion abnormality, and the diagnosis of ARVD was further confirmed by the specimen resected at the site of origin of VT. Therefore, VT in ARVD can be entrained and reentry is the most likely mechanism of such VT.
