Mother takes sotalol for v tach & 20% pvc burden. she had failed ablation. we have family history of scd during sleep. her v tach-monomorphic. risk??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
V tach: Pvc's accounting for 20% of total daily beats is a burden on the ventricles and can lead to eventual cardiomyopathy which further increases risk of v tach or v fib. Careful follow-up and treatment by an ep specialist is important. Has an ICD been proposed?
