Abstract
in English, German

This article focuses on ventricular arrythmias without evidence for structural heart disease. There are many different reasons for this type of arrythmia and there is still a gap of knowledge. Starting with the first description of this disease, we present the diagnosis and management with medication, and finally catheter ablation procedures from the beginning to how it is currently treated and how it possibly will be treated in the near future.

Dieser Beitrag widmet sich dem Thema ventrikuläre Arrhythmie ohne vorliegende strukturelle Herzerkrankung. Die zugrunde liegenden Ursachen sind vielfältig und noch nicht komplett verstanden. Beginnend bei der Erstbeschreibung dieser Art der Arrhythmie nähern wir uns über die Diagnostik der Therapie mittels Medikamenten und schließlich der Katheterablation von den Anfängen bis hin zur den modernsten aktuellen und zukünftigen Methoden.

Keywords: Catheter ablation; Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmia; Premature ventricular contractions; Ventricular tachycardia.
