Abstract
Nonreentrant ventricular arrhythmias unrelated to abnormal myocardial substrate are common in patients with structural heart disease, and sites of origin differ from those seen in patients with structurally normal hearts. When managing structural heart disease in patients with ventricular arrhythmias, a focus on arrhythmia mechanism, origin, and relationship to underlying myocardial substrate may have important implications for future treatment options and patient outcomes.
