A member asked:
How common is cardiac tamponnade during ep study on left ventricular for v-tach??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The risks are very: low in experienced hands. Published studies would suggest that perforation is less than 0.2% (1 in 500). This is a treatable complication and unlikely to contribute to any long term issues or mortality. This risk is considerably lower than a risk from recurrent VT.

I had a cardiac MRI done which showed thickening in my left ventricular. Is there a chance i can have fatal arrhythmia because of this?
I had an echo report that said I have moderate concentric left ventricular hypertrophy. My EP Cardiologist told me not to worry about it too much but I read online it can cause you to go into sudden cardiac arrest. I have PVC burden of 0.3%?
