Key result
Noninvasive electrocardiographic mapping was described for evaluating ventricular tachycardia in a patient with a left ventricular assist device, though specific outcomes are not reported.
Why the study?
Ventricular arrhythmias are common and associated with increased mortality after LVAD implantation, and VT can be difficult to manage medically, often requiring catheter ablation.

Case reports of post-LVAD VA management suggest tailored ICD settings but should not change practice; leaves open optimal strategies for trials.
Case Report (n=1)
Describes the use of noninvasive electrocardiographic mapping for ventricular tachycardia in a patient with a left ventricular assist device.
Rehorn et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Ventricular tachycardia in a patient with a left ventricular assist device (n=1). Noninvasive electrocardiographic mapping was evaluated. Noninvasive electrocardiographic mapping was described for evaluating ventricular tachycardia in a patient with a left ventricular assist device, though specific outcomes are not reported.
