Ischemic Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) Clinical Trial
Official title:
Paced Electrogram Feature Analysis (PEFA) for Ablation Targeting in Ischaemic Ventricular Tachycardia
Canadian multicentre prospective cohort study of 40 patients with ischaemic heart disease and therapy from an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
Paced Electrogram Feature Analysis is employed to elucidate VT isthmus sites and target Type I sites for ablation to prevent recurrent VT/VF. The trial hypothesis is: catheter ablation employing PEFA will, in comparison to published data, reduce the composite outcome of death at any time, appropriate ICD shock, ventricular tachycardia storm or treated sustained ventricular tachycardia below the detection rate of the ICD or incessant VT for patients with prior myocardial infarction and sustained ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. ;
