Abstract
We compared de novo monomorphic and polymorphic ventricular tachycardi a (VT) occurring after coronary artery bypass graft surgery in 21 pati ents. Our findings support an underlying arrhythmogenic substrate for de novo monomorphic VT,whereas polymorphic VT is more likely related t o transient perioperative abnormalities.
