The electrocardiogramme and methods of prolonged ECG recording are sufficient for diagnosing most cardiac arrhythmias. They also provide some prognostic information and allow evaluation and follow-up of treatment. However, in some situations, endocavitary electrophysiological investigations are required when the diagnosis is uncertain, that more prognostic information is required or interventional techniques (endocavitary ablation) are envisaged. The aim of this report is to summarise the value and limitations of programmed ventricular stimulation. Many of its indications have been abandoned in terms of rhythm stratification in the face of more robust parameters, in particular the left ventricular ejection fraction. However, it retains a potential utility in terms of prognosis in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, the Brugada syndrome and operated Tetralogy of Fallot. In any event, it is important to remember that studies resulting in diagnostic or therapeutic recommendations were performed with strict protocols of stimulation in selected patients and that these recommendations can only be applied when the evaluation protocols are respected. The indications of programmed ventricular stimulation will increase in the therapeutic field with the development of new techniques of 3D mapping, new systems of catheter guiding which should extend the indications of endocavitary ablation.
