Abstract

Clinical electrophysiological studies(EPS) were done in seven patients with chronic recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia(VT) in an attempt to delineate the reproducibility and to select the effective antiarrhythmic drugs for the prevention of the recurrence of VT. We could induce and terminate the sustained VT, and could select the effective antiarrhythmic drugs in all patient in the cardiac catheterization laboratory with EPS. With these effective antiarrhythmic drugs VT did not recur for the follow up period of 15 to 20 months. In view of the serious nature of the VT and the demonstrated benefits of EPS, we could conclude that patients with chronic recurrent sustained VT should undergo EPS.
