Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia in nonischemic cardiomyopathy

Journal of Arrhythmia

Abstract

The number of patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) undergoing catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) has increased by the years, however, there are no randomized studies of VT ablation in this population. Many studies have reported more mixed or inferior outcome after the ablation in patients with NICM as compared to in those with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM)-likely because of the heterogeneous VT substrates in each etiology. While, various ablation strategies for substrate modification in the setting of ICM, including low voltage area ablation, late potential abolition, and local abnormal ventricular activity elimination, have been well established, it is still unknown which ablation strategy is effective for prevention of recurrence VTs in NICM patients. Therefore, this review will highlight the recent progress made in VT ablation in patients with NICM.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
