Does radiofrequency ablation prevent recurrence of arrhythmias in patients with hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia after myocardial infarction?
Radiofrequency ablation performed in sinus rhythm appears feasible and effective for treating hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia in patients who fail drug therapy and reject device therapy.
