Why the study?
Does catheter ablation of culprit triggers improve freedom from recurrent VF storm in patients with MI presenting with focally triggered VF storm?
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.
May support ablation for VF storm control post-MI; hypothesis-generating pending randomized confirmation of mortality benefit.
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.
