A 72-year-old man has had several episodes of ventricular tachycardia and is a candidate for electrophysiological (EP) study. The following is/are true: 


  1. The goal of the EP study is either sustained or non-sustained ventricular tachycardia
  2. Patients with less than 5 repetitive complexes in response to stimulation are considered noninducible
  3. An induced reentry from ventricular stimulation is not necessarily pathological
  4. Microreentry arrhythmias are typical after myocardial infarction
  5. Macroreentry arrhythmias are typical of myocardial ischemia

a. The goal of the EP study is either sustained or non-sustained ventricular tachycardia

b. Patients with less than 5 repetitive complexes in response to stimulation are considered noninducible

For arrhythmias of ventricular origin, the EP study goal is either sustained or nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. Patients with less than five repetitive complexes in response to stimulation are considered noninducible. Ventricular reentry does not occur in normal myocardium, so all reentrant arrhythmias are pathological. Macroreentry arrhythmias are typical after myocardial infarction, while microreentry arrhythmias are typical of myocardial ischemia.
