Abstract:
:Inducible ventricular tachycardia frequently persists despite solitary class I antiarrhythmic drug therapy. To determine the effect of metoprolol as adjuvant therapy, 19 patients with clinical ventricular tachycardia with baseline inducible sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia and persistently inducible ventricular tachycardia despite class I drugs were evaluated. Eight of 19 patients (42%) became noninducible when metoprolol was added to class I drug therapy. Sixteen of 19 patients (84%) were harder to induce or noninducible on a regimen of adjuvant metoprolol therapy. In evaluating the clinical characteristics of the 19 patients, no significant differences were found between patients who were persistently inducible and those rendered noninducible. In evaluating the electrophysiologic characteristics, the group eventually rendered noninducible had a significantly shorter baseline induced cycle length (259 +/- 27 vs 305 +/- 53 msec). Combination class I drug and metoprolol therapy significantly lengthened the ventricular effective refractory period in both groups compared with baseline. The long-term follow-up was excellent in all patients remaining on metoprolol in the noninducible group. Therefore adjuvant metoprolol therapy creates a significant improvement in a number of patients with persistently inducible ventricular tachycardia despite class I drug therapy.
