Question: I have had a couple of episodes of fast ventricular tachycardia one on a holder study of 224 bom for 11.8 seconds, my basal inferior left ventricle myocardium has abnormal thinking and enhancement, and I have sudendocardial enhancement/scarring in the anterolateral wall of huge basal and mid left ventricle myocardium. How should this be treated?

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Before deciding for the right treatment, you should do the following cardiac tests:
- coronarography
- electro-physiological study of the heart
to determine if the ventricular tachycardia can be reversed.
Depending on the problems of the heart, the best treatment will be prescribed:
- if ischemia is present, stent or CABG should be the best option
- if electro-physiological problems, ablation is the best treatment option; while ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) should be considered.
I also advise to:
- control the thyroid function
- avoid alcohol/ caffeine/energetic drinks
- try to control stress
Hope it was of help!
