Hypothesis-generating for targeted ablation in right ventricular cardiomyopathy VT; should not yet change practice without prospective data.

Structured PICO

Does targeted radiofrequency catheter ablation prevent recurrent ventricular tachycardia in patients with right ventricular cardiomyopathy?

P
Population
Patients with right ventricular (RV) cardiomyopathy and reentrant ventricular tachycardia (VT)

Intervention
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation targeted by entrainment with concealed fusion and postpacing interval analysis
O
Outcome
Recurrent ventricular tachycardiahard clinical

This report demonstrates that radiofrequency catheter ablation can successfully treat reentrant ventricular tachycardia in right ventricular cardiomyopathy when targeting the slow conduction isthmus using entrainment mapping.
