• ABSTRACT
    • Ventricular arrhythmias are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with ischemic structural heart disease. Endocardial and epicardial mapping strategies include scar characterization channel identification, and recording and ablation of late potentials and local abnormal ventricular activities. Catheter ablation along with new technology and techniques of bipolar ablation, needle catheter, and autonomic modulation may increase efficacy in difficult to ablate ventricular arrhythmias. Catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias seem to confer mortality and morbidity benefits in patients with ischemic heart disease.
