Outcome of Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Patients With Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Ablation failure and recurrence rates after ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation in nonischemic cardiomyopathy are high and the optimal procedural end point is not well defined. This study assessed the outcome after ablation, the impact of noninducibility, and other potential predictors of VT recurrence.
METHODS AND RESULTS: Forty-five patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy (60±16 years; left ventricular ejection fraction, …
