Poor blood supply Ischemia, or inadequate blood supply to the heart, is an abnormality that can be detected in an ECG test. ECG tests can also show previous heart attacks. An ECG machine is able to detect other abnormalities of the heart as well, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or overly thick heart muscles.

If the pump is in any way defective then not as much blood comes out of the heart and the body and all our vital organs will get less blood than they should and this could lead to harm. So cardiomyopathies, valve problems, myocarditis and previous heart attacks all cause a problem with the pumping function of the heart.

Late-breaking results from the VANISH2 trial presented at AHA 2024 showed that catheter ablation might be a better first-line treatment than antiarrhythmic drugs for ventricular tachycardia patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. However, it’s unproven whether catheter ablation is more effective than antiarrhythmics as a first-line treatment.
