Ventricular arrhythmias in congestive heart failure.

abstract：:In the past decade, catheter ablation techniques and implantable devices have revolutionized the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias, junctional arrhythmias, and atrial flutter. For most patients presenting with atrial fibrillation (AF), the treatment available today is similar to that used a century ago, although no...
