Key Points

  • To evaluate the correlation between computed tomography-derived wall thickness measurements of scar topography and critical catheter ablation sites in patients with postinfarction ventricular tachycardia.
  • Measured myocardial wall thickness using computed tomography (CT) to map postinfarction scar topography.

Structured PICO

Does CT-derived scar topography identify critical ablation sites in postinfarction ventricular tachycardia?

CT-derived wall thickness can identify critical myocardial ridges that serve as appropriate ablation targets in postinfarction ventricular tachycardia.

Abstract

WT measured by CT identifies ridges of myocardial tissue that often are critical for postinfarction VT and that can be appropriate target sites for ablation.
