#17: Treating ventricular tachycardia in patients without structural heart disease

Oct 24, 2012 09:35 EDT


Dr Bernard Gersh asks Dr Samuel Asirvatham about the syndromes that categorize patients who have ventricular tachycardia in the absence of structural heart disease and what the treatment options—including ablation—are for these patients.

Drs Asirvatham and Gersh have no relevant financial disclosures.

Very interesting.  I was listening to get some extra knowledge concerning the TAD committe, on behalf of ehlers danlos syndrome especially type IV.  I had no clue that it would end up in something else I should prob. be concerned about.  My son has type IV EDS but recently my husband diagnoses with colon cancer (received treatment) was also diagnosed with sarcoidosis at the same time because the pet scan revealed many lit up nodes t/o the body; heavily if you ask me.  Most doctors said to ignore it while I pushed for him to see a pulmonologist just because he has asthma.  Breathing tests revealed a 1/3 of his airway was blocked. He is on an inhaled steroid regimine but I worry about what exactly is going on in the liver.  My husbands liver quivers on ocassion off and on for many years, even before diagnosis of cancer or sarcoidosis.  However, it is quivering MORE AND MORE going into spasms for minutes at a time. I found your topic about Sarcoidosis interesting.
