Late recovery in peripartum cardiomyopathy.

abstract：:Nonpharmacologic therapies for patients with sustained ventricular tachycardia have been necessitated by the low frequency of drug-responsive patients. These nonpharmacologic therapies include antitachycardia pacemakers, low-energy cardioverters, defibrillators, surgery and, for the present, catheter ablation. Antitac...
