ABSTRACT

La taquicardia ventricular incesante es una patología poco frecuente que habitualmente se presenta en pacientes con cardiopatía estructural, principalmente en aquellos con antecedentes de infarto al miocardio, sin embargo puede presentarse también en enfermos con miocardiopatía dilatada. La amiodarona puede controlar con éxito un 75% de los casos y en aquellos pacientes refractarios al tratamiento antiarrítmico la ablación por radiofrecuencia debe considerarse la terapia de primera elección.


Incessant ventricular tachycardia is a rare disorder that usually occurs in patients with structural heart disease, mainly in those with history of myocardial infarction, but may also occur in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Amiodarone can successfully treat 75% cases and in patients refractory to antiarrhythmic therapy, radiofrequency ablation should be considered first-line therapy.
