Why the study?
Does pre-procedural LGE-CMR predict post-ablation VT recurrence in patients undergoing ventricular tachycardia ablation?
Does pre-procedural LGE-CMR predict post-ablation VT recurrence in patients undergoing ventricular tachycardia ablation?
Pre-procedural LGE-CMR features, specifically LV mass, septal LGE distribution, and transmural channels, can identify patients at high risk for VT recurrence after ablation.
May aid pre-ablation risk stratification; leaves open whether LGE-CMR-guided strategies reduce VT recurrence.
Pre-procedural LGE-CMR is a helpful and feasible technique to identify patients with high risk of VT recurrence after ablation. LV mass, septal LGE distribution, and transmural channels were predictive factors of post-ablation VT recurrence.
