AB  - Idiopathic ventricular premature contractions (VPCs), defined as VPCs in the 
      absence of obvious structural heart disease, are one of the common types of 
      arrhythmia in clinical practice. They are sometimes complicated with 
      non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT), and/or sustained VT with almost same 
      QRS morphology in 12 leads ECG. Idiopathic VT (IVT) commonly occurs by focal 
      mechanisms and the origins are distributed in a variety of sites in both 
      ventricles. In this article, the clinical characteristics of IVT/IVPCs, the 
      diagnostic algorithm, and how to ablate them will be reviewed.
