Abstract
Twenty patients with symptomatic monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) underwent radiofrequency (RF) energy catheter ablation. Four patients (20%) had underlying heart disease (1 prolapse mitral valve, 1 dilated cardiomyopathy and 2 myocarditis). Five patients (25%) had left sided VT and right sided VT in the remainder (75%). Radiofrequency catheter ablation was initially successful in all patients without major complication. Recurrence occurred in three patients (15%). In conclusion, RF ablation is an effective treatment for symptomatic monomorphic right and left sided VT especially in patients who do not want long term antiarrhythmic agents.
