Cite This Study
Tanawuttiwat et al. (2015) conducted a review in Ventricular tachycardia. Catheter ablation was evaluated. Catheter ablation has emerged as the primary treatment for idiopathic ventricular tachycardia and an important strategy to reduce VT burden in patients with structural heart disease.
