Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of VT ablation guided by functional evaluation of the substrate to specifically target the reentry-vulnerable zones in patients with infarct-related VT.


Clinical Trial Description

Activation mapping of VT is the gold-standard method for description of the reentrant circuit and identification of its isthmus, however this is uncommonly accomplished due to hemodynamic non-tolerance and limited temporal and spatial resolution. Substrate mapping has been developed as an alternative method to identify the isthmus of post-infarction VT during sinus rhythm (SR). However, it has limited specificity to critical VT sites.

Fundamental work in animal models of healed infarction and humans has shown that the VT isthmus corresponds to locations characterized by marked activation slowing during SR. Furthermore, these locations serve as "anchors" for multiple VT morphologies and cycle lengths.

The hypothesis of this study is that activation mapping during SR or pacing can improve the specifically for identifying the critical VT sites.

The aim of this prospective, multi-center controlled study is to evaluate the utility and limitations of functional mapping for guiding ablation of reentry vulnerably zones for long-term control of VT ;
