Mechanical Circulatory Support Systems in the Management of Ventricular Arrhythmias

Francis Benzoni*

Ventricular arrhythmias pose a significant challenge in cardiovascular medicine, often leading to life-threatening complications such as sudden cardiac arrest. While pharmacological interventions remain a cornerstone of treatment, the advent of mechanical circulatory support systems has revolutionized the management of these arrhythmias. This article explores the role of mechanical circulatory support devices, such as ventricular assist devices and total artificial hearts, in the management of ventricular arrhythmias. It discusses their mechanisms of action, indications, clinical outcomes, and future directions in the context of ventricular arrhythmia management.
