Abstract:
:A review was undertaken of late post-infarct ventricular tachycardia in a district hospital cardiac care unit in order to study the clinical course of a total population of such patients from initial presentation to ultimate outcome. Thirty-six patients with this diagnosis were identified over a 3 1/2-yr period. Twelve were treated by empirically chosen antiarrhythmic drugs. Twenty-four were referred for electrophysiologically guided treatment, of whom 16 were treated by antiarrhythmic drugs, 3 by anti-ischaemic measures alone, and 5 by non-pharmacological antiarrhythmic treatments (antiarrhythmic surgery, percutaneous ablation, defibrillator implantation, cardiac transplantation). Of those treated empirically, 4 died in hospital of their arrhythmia, 1 died suddenly at home, and 2 suffered non-fatal arrhythmia recurrences during mean follow-up of 20 months. There were no arrhythmic deaths in those whose treatment was guided by serial electrophysiology studies, although 4 patients died of cardiac failure or reinfarction, and 3 were hospitalised with a recurrence of ventricular tachycardia during mean follow-up of 16 months. Age, concomitant medical problems and the apparent response to initial antiarrhythmic therapy were the main factors influencing management decisions. The apparent superiority of more intensive management strategies based on electrophysiology studies must be interpreted in the context of the selection processes applied to the total population initially presenting.
