Implication

Viable endocardial fibers in healed infarcts may underlie recurrent VT; case series data leave open targeted ablation strategies.

Structured PICO

Population

23 patients with chronic recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia and healed myocardial infarcts or ventricular aneurysms who underwent surgical resection of the endocardium and subendocardium

Intervention

Histological and ultrastructural analysis of endocardial resections

Outcome

Morphologic characteristics (histology and ultrastructure) of cells in the reentrant pathwaysurrogate

The abnormal structure and arrangement of surviving viable cardiac fibers in the endocardium of patients with healed infarcts may provide the anatomic substrate for recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia.
