Abstract

VTS with recurrent MMVT can occur after initiation of BVP. Patients present with decompensated CHF and are best managed by either turning off LV pacing or radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) in combination with long-term antiarrhythmic medication. Despite eliminating MMVT, most patients have poor outcomes.
