The wide spectrum of abnormal cardiac rhythms collectively known as 'ventricular arrhythmias' cause substantial morbidity and are the most common cause of sudden cardiac death. These arrhythmias have widely differing mechanisms, prognoses, and appropriate therapies, which can be determined by evaluation of the underlying disease substrate. In this Review, Dr. Roberts-Thomson and colleagues focus on the mechanisms, diagnosis, and management of monomorphic ventricular arrhythmias.
