Abstract:
We compared de novo monomorphic and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) occurring after coronary artery bypass graft surgery in 21 patients. Our findings support an underlying arrhythmogenic substrate for de novo monomorphic VT, whereas polymorphic VT is more likely related to transient perioperative abnormalities.
