Why the study?
What are the epicardial mapping patterns of the onset of ventricular tachycardia initiated by programmed stimulation in a canine model of chronic infarction?
What are the epicardial mapping patterns of the onset of ventricular tachycardia initiated by programmed stimulation in a canine model of chronic infarction?
In a canine model of chronic infarction, the initial beats of ventricular tachycardia induced by programmed stimulation often originate near the pacing electrode before stabilizing in the infarction zone.

May inform VT initiation mechanisms in chronic infarction models; leaves open translation to human ablation strategies.
Klein et al. (1979) studied this question.
