The role of Purkinje fibers in the emergence of an incessant form of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation associated with ischemic heart disease

Background: The clinical and electrophysiological characteristic of ventricular premature contractions (VPCs) which trigger the incessant form of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT), so-called “electrical storm” associated with ischemic heart disease, remains unclarified. The aim of this study...
