Ventricular Tachycardia Catheter Ablation
Ablation may be considered when recurrent ventricular tachycardia/electrical storm occurs after myocardial infarction or cardiomyopathy, drug control is poor or not tolerated, or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) frequently discharges. The decision depends on the scar substrate, hemody

How Ventricular Tachycardia Catheter Ablation is performed
Catheter treatment for scar-related ventricular tachycardia. Usually, electrodes are placed through vascular access, combined with three-dimensional mapping and imaging, to locate abnormal conduction and substrate, and ablation is performed with radiofrequency energy; epicardial access can be performed if applicable. Intraoperative monitoring assesses rhythm and blood flow. Postoperative short-term electrocardiographic monitoring and adjustment of antiarrhythmic and antithrombotic regimens, with the goal of reducing ventricular tachycardia burden and shock events. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specialist assessment shall prevail.
