Relationship Between Successful Ablation Sites and the Scar Border Zone Defined by Substrate Mapping for Ventricular Tachycardia Post‐Myocardial Infarction
Why the study?
Where are successful ablation sites located relative to the scar border zone defined by substrate mapping for ventricular tachycardia post-myocardial infarction?
Population

Implication
May require comprehensive mapping beyond scar border zone for post-MI VT ablation; leaves open whether targeted strategies improve outcomes.
Structured PICO
Where are successful ablation sites located relative to the scar border zone defined by substrate mapping for ventricular tachycardia post-myocardial infarction?
P
Population
Patients with hemodynamically stable, monomorphic ventricular tachycardia post-myocardial infarction
I
Intervention
Ablation guided by substrate voltage mapping
O
Outcome
Location of successful ablation sites relative to the scar border zonesurrogate
Successful ablation sites for post-MI VT are not exclusively confined to the scar border zone, highlighting the need for comprehensive mapping.
