VT in Patients with CAD Healed MI is the most frequent clinical setting for the development of sustained VT The first episode of VT can occur years after infarct healing Clinical presentation- tolerated sustained VT to SCD Incidence reduced from 3% to 1%
5
VT in Patients with CAD Mechanism of VT in a/c ischemia
Focal activation by abnormal automaticity in the ischemic border zone a/c ischemia activates KATP channels causing an increase in extracellular K along with acidosis and hypoxia in the cardiac muscle Minor increases in extracellular K depolarize the myocardiocyte’s RMP , which can increase tissue excitability in early phases of ischemia
6
VT in Patients with CAD Mechanism of VT in a/c ischemia
Focal discharge by Ca overload & triggered activity in the form of delayed or early after-depolarizations - not been proven experimentally
7
VT in Patients with CAD Mechanism
Reentry is the mechanism underlying the VT associated with healed or healing MI (>95%) The ability to reproducibly initiate and terminate VT with programmed ventricular extrastimuli- the sine qua non of reentry Induction of VT in coronary disease is stimulation site specific An inverse relationship of the extrastimulus coupling interval to the onset of the first tachycardia beat is observed in many VTs
8
VT in Patients with CAD Pathophysiologic Substrate
Important determinants of arrhythmia risk after MI The extent of myocardial necrosis Presence of septal involvement Degree of left ventricular dysfunction Anatomic substrate – extensive scar VT consistently arises from surviving myocytes within extensive areas of infarction Conduction is slow & discontinuous, owing to fibrosis and abnormalities in gap junction distribution & function
9
VT in Patients with CAD Pathophysiologic Substrate
Electrophysiologic substrate for VT develops in the first 2 weeks after MI - remain indefinitely Triggers – Acute ischemia – Surges in the autonomic tone – Heart failure Once sustained monomorphic VT occurs, risk continues indefinitely, even if acute ischemia & heart failure are adequately controlled Josep Brugada et al JACC Vol. 37, No. 2, 2001:529–33
10
VT in Patients with CAD Pathophysiologic Substrate
Reentry – macro/ micro reentry Repolarization of individual myocardial cells not homogenous. Some cells excitable, some refractory

13
VT in Patients with CAD Pathophysiologic Substrate
Sinus rhythm mapping in a patient with VT in the setting of extensive healed anterior infarction. The map is color-coded to represent bipolar electrogram voltage: red (representing dense scar) denotes = 0.5 mV, purple = 1.5 mV, and the intervening colors represent voltage values in between. Multiple inducible VTs of varied morphology were localized to circuits within the scar
14
VT in Patients with CAD ECG findings
In the setting of an old MI, the ECG during VT is affected by The size of infarction The region of infarction The region within the scar where the circuit is located The proximity to the His-Purkinje system The influence of concomitant pharmacological agents
15
VT in Patients with CAD ECG evidence of MI
Presence of Q waves (qR, QR or Qr) in related leads Notched or wide QRS complexes Low QRS voltage Multiple ventricular tachycardia morphologies Paroxysmal sustained episodes
16
VT in Patients with CAD Identifying the VT origin
Surface ECG tends to locate the reentry circuit exit rather than the VT origin Location should be defined in 3 axes: septal vs lateral walls superior vs inferior walls apical vs basal regions Bundle branch block patterns -sequence of ventricular activation
17
VT in Patients with CAD Identifying the VT origin
Lateral wall VT RBBB pattern Wider QRS complexes Septal VT LBBB pattern Narrower QRS complexes
18
VT in Patients with CAD Identifying the VT origin
The QRS axis in inferior leads indicates the sequence of activation between the superior and inferior walls Inferior MI Superior axis (80%) Anterior MI Superior axis (55% ) Inferior axis (45%)
19
VT in Patients with CAD Identifying the VT origin
Predominant polarity of QRS complexes in precordial leads can help discriminate between VTs from the basal or the apical regions VT from the apex Negative concordant R progression VT from the basal Positive concordant R progression
20
VT in Patients with CAD Clinical Presentation & Management
The key determinant of hemodynamic tolerance Tachycardia rate Left ventricular function Development of ischemia, and mitral insufficiency Hemodynamic collapse – cardioversion Intravenous procainamide, sotalol, and amiodarone have been demonstrated to have superior efficacy
21
VT in Patients with CAD Long-Term Management
Goal of long-term therapy- prevention of SCD & recurrence of symptoms Asymptomatic NSVT with NLVEF- no treatment Symptomatic NSVT in pts with NLVEF- betablockers Cardiac arrest survivors / SUS VT in ↓LVEF- ICD Primary pvt - ICD > Amiod- pvt of SCD

Current recommendations for ICD implantation in the setting of CAD
Patients resuscitated from VF when coronary revascularization is not possible, and there is evidence of prior MI and significant LV dysfunction LV dysfunction due to MI who present with hemodynamically unstable VT Primary prevention - LV dysfunction due to prior MI who are at least 40 days post-MI and have an LVEF 30%-40% & NYHA II or III I IIa IIb III A I IIa IIb III A I IIa IIb III A
28

31
VT in Patients with DCM DCM has a propensity to the development of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death Incidence of DCM - 4 to 8 cases per 100,000 population Incidence of VT – 50-60% DCM, resp for 8-50% deaths Genetics - Relationship between individual genotypes and arrhythmogenicity is poorly understood
32
VT in Patients with DCM Arrhythmogenesis
Multiple factors responsible for VT in DCM
33
VT in Patients with DCM Arrhythmogenesis
Myocardial fibrosis/scar - may act as sites for reentry At autopsy, extensive subendocardial scarring in the LV in 33% & multiple patchy areas of replacement fibrosis in 57% Sustained stretch-induced shortening of refractory period and AP duration, predisposing to reentry Short, pulsatile, stretch-induced after depolarizations
34
VT in Patients with DCM Arrhythmogenesis
Diastolic Ca overload caused by decreased sacrcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+–adenosine triphosphatase pump Afterdepolarizations induced by increased Na+-Ca2+ exchanger activity Hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia (often related to diuretic use) Increased circulating catecholamines
35
VT in Patients with DCM Arrhythmogenesis
Increased sympathetic tone Purkinje system conduction delay Increased endocardial surface area in dilated atrium or ventricle Drugs (antiarrhythmics, digoxin, sympathomimetic)
36
VT in Patients with DCM Mechanisms
Macro reentry - dominant mechanism Bundle branch reentry ventricular tachycardia (BBRVT) is the most characteristic BBRVT - Responsible for VT in up to 41% of DCM Macro-reentrant circuit involving the His-Purkinje system, usually with antegrade conduction over the RBB and retrograde conduction over the LBB
37
VT in Patients with DCM Predictors of Mortality &Ventricular Arrhythmias
Severity of LV dysfunction - most powerful predictor ISCD is significantly greater in patients with syncope Laboratory values - low serum sodium and increased plasma norepinephrine, renin, and ANP,BNP LBBB & of first- and second-degree AV block has been associated with poor outcome
38
VT in Patients with DCM Predictors of Mortality &Ventricular Arrhythmias
Vesnarinone Trial (VEST) showed a significant association between the degree of QRS prolongation and mortality Gottipaty V, et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 33:145A, 1999
39
VT in Patients with DCM Treatment
ACEI – reduction in SCD due to VT (37% vs 46%) new VT developed less frequent at 1,2 yrs in enalapril group (VHeFT-II trial)
40
VT in Patients with DCM Treatment
Amiodarone Used only on specific arrhythmic indications Reduces ICD shock frequency , without worsening heart failure (SCDHeFT) Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators AMIOVIRT- No difference in mortality ( amio vs ICD) SCD-HeFT - Significant reduction in total mortality in ICD group Catheter ablation
41
VT in Patients with DCM Treatment
Biventricular pacing- severe drug refractory heart failure , in elderly Improve systolic function by shortening the duration of mechanical systole and increasing dP/dt Improve diastolic function by prolonging diastolic filling time Reduce presystolic MR by earlier activation of the lateral papillary muscle without the adverse effect on the sympathetic nervous system seen with inotropic agents

44
Bundle Branch Re-entry VT
Commonly occurs in disease with severe LV dysfunction like DCM & conduction abnormalities in the HPS BBR VT may also be seen in: Myotonic dystrophy Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Ebstein anomaly Following valvular surgery Proarrhythmia due to Na channel blockers Presyncope, syncope or sudden death - VT with fast rates > 200 bpm
45
Bundle Branch Re-entry VT Mechanisms
Macro re-entrant circuit employing His Bundle Both bundle branches Ramifications of left bundle Transeptal myocardium
46
Bundle Branch Re-entry VT Mechanisms
May present with LBBB or RBBB morphology depending on the antegrade conduction LBBB morphology is common BBR –LBBB: - antegrade direction -RB & reterograde LB BBR –RBBB:- antegrade direction-LB & reterograde RB
47
Bundle Branch Re-entry VT Mechanisms
VT QRS Morphology Activation Sequence LBBB LB-H-RB-V RBBB RB- H-LB-V
48
Bundle Branch Re-entry VT Mechanisms
Surface ECG in sinus rhythm - non-specific or typical bundle branch block patterns with prolonged QRS duration Total interruption of conduction in one of the BB would theoretically prevent occurrence of reentry Can occur in patients with relatively narrow QRS complex - functional conduction delay
49
Bundle Branch Re-entry VT Electrophysiologic features
During tachy QRS morphology is commonly LBBB type His electrograms precede each V HV interval during tachycardia > HV in baseline Changes in V–V interval follow the changes in H–H Delay in HPS conduction facilitates induction
50
Bundle Branch Re-entry VT Electrophysiologic features
51
Bundle Branch Re-entry VT Electrophysiologic features
Block in Bundle branches or HPS will terminate the tachy Ablation of RB renders tachycardia noninducible VT of myocardial origin vs BBR-LB pattern – rapid intrinsicoid deflection initial ventricular activation through the HPS
52
Interfascicular VT The reentrant circuit involves superior and inferior division of the left bundle RBBB and anterior or posterior fascicular block is present during sinus rhythm usually has RBBB morphology Antegrade - LAF & retro – LPF –RAD Antegrade- LPF & retro – LAF- LAD
53
Interfascicular VT vs BB Re-entry VT
HV interval shorter than sinus rhythm LB potential before HIS deflections
54
Bundle Branch Re-entry VT Treatment
High recurrence rate after drugs RFA - first line therapy Treatment of choice for BBR VT is ablation of the RB A PPI should be implanted if the post-ablation HV interval is 100 ms or longer ICD implant should be considered if myocardial VT occur spontaneously or are inducible or if EF < 35%

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathies
Most frequent – ARVD Extensive myocardial fibrosis - substrate for reentry Triangle of dysplasia RV outflow tract RV apex RV inflow segments Marcus fi et al.Circulation 1982; 65:384–398
58
ARVD - ECG in sinus rhythm
Prolonged QRS duration ≥ 110 ms in V1-V3 (Sens-55%, Spec-100%) T wave inversion in right precordial leads (Seen in 60%) Epsilon wave (Seen in 30%) Low-voltage QRS amplitude (Indicate severe cases)
59
Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathies
Ventricular arrhythmias are usually exercise-related Sensitive to catecholamines Most Common- LBBB morphology VT Up to 12 VT morphologies have been reported in a single patient RBBB VT - LV involvement or a left septal breakthrough site
60
Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathies
61
Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathies
VT in ARVD may be confused with RVOT VT O’Donnell D ET et al. Eur Heart J. 2003;24: , 2003.
62
ARVC High Risk Features
Younger patients Recurrent syncope History of cardiac arrest or sustained VT Clinical signs of RV failure or LV involvement Patients with or having a family member with the high risk ARVD gene (ARVD2) Increase in QRS dispersion ≥ 40 msec QRS dispersion = max measured QRS minus min measured QRS
63
ACC/AHA/ESC 2006 guidelines for mgt of vent arrhythmias in ARVD
Documented VT/VF on c/c OMT, have reasonable expectation of survival- ICD to prevent SCD Severe disease LV inv, FH of SCD, undiagnosed syncope, on c/c OMT Amiodarone or sotalol effective , when ICD not feasible Ablation can be adjunctive EP testing might be useful for risk assessment I IIa IIb III B I IIa IIb III C I IIa IIb III C I IIa IIb III C I IIa IIb III C

66
VT in Patients with HCM SCD in adults with asymptomatic HCM- 1%
NSVT – 8% On 24-hr Holter -90% have ventricular arrhythmias Prevalence of ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias on 24-hour Holter recording in 178 patients from a community-based population of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy J Am Coll Cardiol 45: , 2005
67
VT in Patients with HCM Mechanisms
In LVH action potential prolongation is due to a decrease in Ito. This results in nonhomogeneous repolarization and propensity for EAD Hypertrophied myocytes may produce DAD due to an increase in Ca load Abnormal pacemaker current (If) has been reported in LVH. Intensity of this current increases with beta adrenergic stimulation In LVH the density of Ito is reduced. The density of ICaL and IK is unchanged and density of If is increased
68
VT in Patients with HCM Prevention of Sudden Death
Pharmacologic Treatment Beta-blockers, verapamil, amiodarone Long term prophylactic pharmacologic therapy now not recommended in high-risk population ICD implantation is reasonable for patients who have 1 or more major risk factor for SCD. (Level of Evidence: C)
69
VT in Patients with HCM Sudden death risk factors
Family history of premature HCM-related death Unexplained syncope, particularly in young patients, or if demonstrated to be arrhythmia-based Frequent, multiple, or prolonged episodes of NSVT Hypotensive or attenuated BP response to exercise Extreme LVH with maximum wall thickness ≥ 30 mm Presence or magnitude of LVOT obstruction has not proved to be a consistently strong independent risk factor for SCD in HCM and therefore does not constitute a sole justification for prophylactic ICD implantation

72
Ventricular Tachycardia in Patients after Surgery for Congenital Heart Disease
Most information concerning patients with VT and congenital heart disease pertains to TOF VT in these patients are due to the effect of Years of chronic cyanosis Presence of a ventriculotomy Elevation of RV pressures Severe pulmonic regurgitation with RV dysfunction These factors lead to myocardial fibrosis, resulting reentrant circuits
73
Ventricular Tachycardia in Patients after Surgery for Congenital Heart Disease
Mechanism of VT is reentry involving the RVOT, either at the site of anterior rt. ventriculotomy or at VSD patch The incidence of VT significantly higher in patients with RVSP >60 mm Hg and RVEDP > 8 mm Hg Zeltser et al showed RV volume overload is the most important predictor of inducible ventricular arrhythmias J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 130: , 2005
74
Ventricular Tachycardia in Patients after Surgery for Congenital Heart Disease
The risk of VT can be assessed by QRS duration Syncope & VT- squares Sudden death- triangles Syncope with Afl- star Gatzoulis MA et al. Circulation 95: , 1997
75
Antiarrhythmics medication Radiofrequency catheter ablation
Ventricular Tachycardia in Patients after Surgery for Congenital Heart Disease Treatment Antiarrhythmics medication Radiofrequency catheter ablation Surgical Cryoablation ICD implantation A combined approach of correcting significant structural abnormalities with intra-operative EP-guided ablation may reduce the potential risk of deterioration in ventricular function

MCQ-1
107
Mechanisms of VT VT arises distal to the bifurcation of the His bundle in the specialized conduction system, ventricular muscle, or combinations of both Disorders of impulse formation Enhanced automaticity Triggered activity Disorders of impulse conduction Re-entry (circus movements)
108
Mechanisms of VT Disorders of impulse formation
Enhanced automaticity Can occur in virtually all cardiac tissues Occurs due to increasing the rate of diastolic depolarization or changing the threshold potential Can arise from cells that have reduced maximum diastolic potentials, often at membrane potentials positive to −50 mV
109
Mechanisms of VT Disorders of impulse formation
Automatic ventricular arrhythmias Premature ventricular complexes Ventricular tachycardia associated with: Acute myocardial infarction or ischemia Electrolyte and acid-base disturbances, hypoxemia Increased sympathetic tone
110
Mechanisms of VT Disorders of impulse formation
Triggered activity Pause-dependent triggered activity Early afterdepolarization (phase 3) Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia Catechol-dependent triggered activity Late afterdepolarizations (phase 4) Idiopathic right ventricular tachycardia
111
Mechanisms of VT Disorders of impulse formation
Triggered activity Figure A :- Early afterdepolarizations in phase 3 of the AP Figure B :- Late afterdepolarizations seen in late phase 3 or phase 4 of the AP
112
Mechanisms of VT Disorders of impulse conduction
Re-entry (circus movements) Cardiac Conduction Tissue Electrical Impulse Fast Conduction Path Slow Recovery Slow Conduction Path Fast Recovery Two distinct pathways that come together at beginning and end to form a loop A unidirectional block in one of those pathways Slow conduction in the unblocked pathway
113
Mechanisms of VT Disorders of impulse conduction
Premature Beat Impulse Cardiac Conduction Tissue Repolarizing Tissue (long refractory period)) Fast Conduction Path Slow Recovery Slow Conduction Path Fast Recovery An arrhythmia is triggered by a premature beat The fast conducting pathway is blocked because of its long refractory period so the beat can only go down the slow conducting pathway
114
Mechanisms of VT Disorders of impulse conduction
Re-entry (circus movements) Cardiac Conduction Tissue Fast Conduction Path Slow Recovery Slow Conduction Path Fast Recovery The wave of excitation from the premature beat arrives at the distal end of the fast conducting pathway, which has now recovered and therefore travels retrogradely (backwards) up the fast pathway
115
Mechanisms of VT Disorders of impulse conduction
Re-entry (circus movements) Cardiac Conduction Tissue Fast Conduction Path Slow Recovery Slow Conduction Path Fast Recovery On arriving at the top of the fast pathway it finds the slow pathway has recovered and therefore the wave of excitation ‘re-enters’ the pathway and continues in a ‘circular’ movement. This creates the re-entry circuit
116
Mechanisms of VT Disorders of impulse conduction
Reentrant ventricular arrhythmias Premature ventricular complexes Idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia Bundle branch reentry Ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation when associated with chronic heart disease: Previous myocardial infarction Cardiomyopathy
