Ventricular late potentials, interstitial fibrosis, and right ventricular function in patients with ventricular tachycardia and normal left ventricular function
L La Vecchia, R Ometto, F Bedogni… - American Journal of …, 1998 - ajconline.org
The occurrence of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in subjects without evidence of organic heart
disease is reported in variable frequencies in patients evaluated for cardiac arrhythmias. 1
Some of these patients are found to be free of heart disease even after a thorough invasive
investigation including cardiac biopsy. In others, minor abnormalities of ventricular function
or nonspecific histologic changes are detected, the clinical and prognostic relevance of
which remains undefined. Ventricular late potentials (VLPs) recorded by means of a signal …
