This review discusses the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias. Recent studies addressing the management of nonsustained ventricular arrhythmias in patients with congestive heart failure and those recovering from myocardial infarction are discussed. Determination of the origin of wide QRS complex tachycardia is usually possible at the bedside and the diagnostic criteria are provided. Therapy to prevent recurrent ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation is difficult and controversial. A widely accepted approach based on electrophysiologic testing and implantable defibrillators appears to be the most effective. Recognition and management of common bradyarrhythmias including the indications for pacemakers are discussed.

History Of

Myocarditis can lead to acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, or sudden death and later, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) with chronic heart failure. We report the cases of two DCM induced by acute and past myocarditis in the same family and expressed by its two main complications within few weeks: an hemodynamic presentation as a fulminant myocarditis rapidly leading to cardiac tranplantation and a rythmologic presentation as an electrical storm leading to catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia. These cases ask the question of the family predisposition to viral myocarditis leading to DCM.
