Ablation Targets of Scar-related Ventricular Tachycardia Identified by Dynamic Functional Substrate Mapping
Tachycardia, Ventricular
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Tachycardia, Ventricular
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
• Patients with structural heart disease; previous myocardial infarction, left ventricular dilatation/systolic dysfunction, or normal left ventricular diameters/ systolic function with evidence of ventricular scar on contrast enhanced-cardiac magnetic resonance or electroanatomic map.
- Sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia documented by 12-lead ECG or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (electrograms resistant to antiarrhythmic drug treatment or requiring implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapies.
Exclusion Criteria:
- • Patients with ventricular arrhythmias attributed to reversible causes.

Sinus Rhythm
Right ventricular extrastimulus pacing group
This group will undergo mapping during sinus rhythm to identify and ablate late potentials that may be incriminated in the tachycardia circuit.
This group will undergo mapping during right ventricular single extrastimulus pacing to identify and thus ablate potentials that might have been masked during sinus rhythm.
