## Abstract We report a case of a young woman who presented with atypical angina. During an episode of chest pain she had a documented run of sustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). In addition to medical therapy, she received an ICD to prevent future episodes of sudden cardiac death. J

## Abstract The cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2), the major calcium release channel on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in cardiomyocytes, has recently been shown to be involved in at least two forms of sudden cardiac death (SCD): (1) Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) or
Catheter-directed laser injury of the left ventricular endocardium for ablation of ventricular tachycardia was studied in a canine model of simulated ventricular tachycardia. Bipolar plunge electrodes were placed at thoracotomy into the left ventricular endocardium in nine anesthetized dogs. Ventric
