Early Reperfusion Therapy Affects Inducibility, Cycle Length, and Occurrence of Ventricular Tachycardia Late After Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

There are important differences in Vt inducibility, induced VTCL, and occurrence of spontaneous Vt in the chronic infarct healing phase between patients with and those without successful reperfusion during acute MI. These findings suggest differences in the chronic arrhythmogenic substrate.
