Heart failure as a substrate and trigger for ventricular tachycardia

This article provides a review of the aforementioned mechanisms of arrhythmogenesi s in heart failure; the role and impact of HF therapy such as cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), including the role, if any, of CRT-P and CRT-D in preventing VAs; the utility of both non-invasive parameters as well as multiple implant-based parameters for telemonitoring in HF; and the effect o f left ventricular assist device implantation on VAs.
