Abstract

The diagnosis and management of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation is challenging, as it requires extensive diagnostic testing and offers few curative options due to unknown underlying disease. The resulting population is a heterogeneous group of patients with a largely unknown natural history. Structural patient characterisation, follow-up and innovations in diagnostic testing can improve our understanding of the disease mechanisms of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, detect underlying disease during follow-up and aid in therapeutic management. Recently, initiatives have been launched in the Netherlands to investigate the role of high-resolution non-invasive electrocardiographic imaging and genetic and familial screening in idiopathic ventricular fibrillation.
