Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Principles and Practice of Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - Key Clinical Questions What is the clinical and prognostic significance of frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT), and how should they be managed? In the setting of a wide-complex tachycardia (WCT), what features favor a diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia (VT)? What types of ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation (VF) can occur in the absence of structural heart disease and what types can be precipitated by exercise? How should a clinician distinguish between stable VT, unstable VT, and pulseless VT diagnostically and therapeutically? Which patients deserve implantable cardiodefibrillators (ICDs) for primary or secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD), and what is the role of antiarrhythmic drug therapy in primary and secondary prevention of SCD?
