Section Type: CONCLUSIONS

Text: (1) stimulation from at least two right ventricular sites is desirable because of their independent contribution to the induction of ventricular tachyarrhythmias, (2) the non-inducibility or inducibility at one ventricular site does not predict the effect at another stimulation site, (3) the effective refractory period at the right ventricular apex and outflow tract do not differ, (4) the inducibility of multiple ventricular tachycardia morphologies emphasizes the importance of documenting the cause of spontaneous arrhythmias with multiple electrocardiographic leads to ensure the correct interpretation of arrhythmias induced by programmed stimulation, (5) clinical or haemodynamic features can not predict whether one or more stimulation sites will be required for induction of ventricular tachycardia.
