Key result
VT ablation in SHD provides the most effective arrhythmic burden control, driven by technological advances.
Why the study?
Ablation of VT in structural heart disease is an increasingly used procedure following a decade of technological advances and evolving understanding of arrhythmic circuit pathophysiology.
This review highlights that ablation is the most effective strategy for controlling arrhythmic burden in patients with ventricular tachycardia and structural heart disease.
May support VT ablation for arrhythmic control in structural heart disease; leaves open randomized confirmation before practice change.
Nowadays, ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in structural heart disease is an increasingly used procedure. In fact, it is the most effective strategy in controlling arrhythmic burden in VT patients. The ablative approaches are the result of the last 10 years of technological advances (Catheters, 3D mapping systems) and the constant study of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying arrhythmic circuits. This presentation seeks to revisit the state of the art in the ablative treatment of VT.
