Does catheter ablation of culprit triggers improve freedom from recurrent VF storm in patients with MI presenting with focally triggered VF storm?
Catheter ablation is a lifesaving and effective strategy for achieving short- and long-term freedom from recurrent VF storm in post-MI patients.
In patients with MI presenting with focally triggered VF storm, catheter ablation of culprit triggers is lifesaving and appears to be associated with short- and long-term freedom from recurrent VF storm. Mortality over the long-term follow-up is associated with the severity of underlying cardiovascular disease and comorbidities in this specific patient population.
