Key result
Imaging-supported VT ablation workflows improve substrate localization, reducing procedural times, radiation exposure, and recurrence rates.
Why the study?
Management of ventricular tachycardia requires an integrated approach combining invasive therapy and cardiac imaging.
Does integrating cardiac imaging with electroanatomical mapping systems improve outcomes in ventricular tachycardia ablation?
Does integrating cardiac imaging with electroanatomical mapping systems improve outcomes in ventricular tachycardia ablation?
Cardiac imaging integrated with electroanatomical mapping systems plays a central role in optimizing the efficacy and safety of VT ablation.
Supports integration of cardiac imaging with EAM for VT ablation; reinforces efficacy and safety benefits while highlighting need for RCTs.
Management of ventricular tachycardia (VT) requires an integrated approach combining invasive therapy and cardiac imaging. This article reviews the principal imaging modalities and their integration with electroanatomical mapping systems to plan and guide procedures and to assess the success of VT ablation during follow-up. The central role of imaging in optimizing the efficacy and safety of VT ablation is emphasized. Studies demonstrating that imaging-supported workflows can improve substrate localization, reduce procedural times and radiation exposure, and lower recurrence rates are highlighted. Current limitations and future challenges are also discussed.
