Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia using radiofrequency current

Provides a brief overview of the mechanism and process of catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia.

Abstract

Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia involves identifying the mechanism (a focus with abnormal impulse formation or a reentrant circuit), mapping the VT, and using radiofrequency current to ablate the tissue involved.
