  • Title: Management of ventricular arrhythmias.
    Author: Aronow WS.
    Journal: Compr Ther; 2008; 34(2):89-99. PubMed ID: 18833785.
    Abstract:
    Underlying causes of ventricular tachycardia (VT) or complex ventricular arrhythmias (VA) should be treated if possible. This may include beta-adrenergic blockade radiofrequency catheter ablation and automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. The ACC/AHA Class I indications for an AICD are discussed. Patients with AICDs should be treated with biventricular pacing, not with dual-chamber rate-responsive pacing at a rate of 70/minute.
