The first randomized trial to investigate preventive ablation of a potential arrhythmogenic substrate associated with coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) in patients at high risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) reduces the risk of appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy and unplanned hospitalization in patients with no (..)

Recent advancements in catheter ablation for structural ventricular tachycardia (VT), such as high-density mapping and cardiac imaging-based detection of target areas, have significantly improved the efficacy of ablation procedures.

In the PARTITA trial antitachycardia pacing (ATP) predicted the occurrence of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks. Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia after the first shock reduced the risk of death or worsening heart failure (wHF).

Ventricular tachycardia is a potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmia. Chronic recurrent monomorphic VT like fascicular tachycardia and right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia are also amenable to electrophysiological mapping and ablation. If the rate is very fast, hemodynamic deterioration can occur rapidly.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a disease characterised by fibrofatty replacement of the ventricular myocardium due to specific mutations, leading to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Emerging evidence suggests that combining flecainide and bisoprolol may be efficacious.

They include medications that are not very effective and cause unpleasant side effects, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (or ICD) that provides an internal shock to correct the heartbeat, and a procedure called catheter ablation. Unfortunately, ablation also destroys healthy heart tissue in the process.
