Ventricular Tachycardia in Congenital Pulmonary Stenosis. Cardiac electrophysiology clinics Ruckdeschel, E. S., Schuller, J., Nguyen, D. T. 2016; 8 (1): 205–9

Abstract

With modern surgical techniques, there is significantly increased life expectancy for those with congenital heart disease. Although congenital pulmonary valve stenosis is not as complex as tetralogy of Fallot, there are many similarities between the 2 lesions, such that patients with either of these conditions are at risk for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Those patients who have undergone surgical palliation for congenital pulmonary stenosis are at an increased risk for development of ventricular arrhythmias and may benefit from a more aggressive evaluation for symptoms of palpitations or syncope.
