Gender differences in electrophysiological characteristics of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia originating from right ventricular outflow tract

Abstract

It has become increasingly apparent in recent years that there are important differences of many cardiovascular disorders including ventricular tachycardias in men and women. Nevertheless, so far just few studies have addressed possible gender differences in electrophysiological characteristics of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia from right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT-VT), other than epidemiological ones.

This study explored possible gender differences in electrophysiological characteristics and catheter ablation outcome in RVOT-VT patients.
