Electrogram Dynamics at the Site of Ventricular Tachycardia Termination During Radiofrequency Ablation.

Abstract

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a life-threatening arrhythmia associated with high morbidity and mortality, particularly in patients with structural heart disease. Radiofrequency ablation is an effective procedure to treat patients with this malignant arrhythmia. We report three cases of successful termination of VT using unique catheter ablation techniques. Through these cases and techniques, we highlight the advantages of specific localization of abnormal circuits within the cardiac layer involved, as well as electrogram evidence of tachycardia termination.
