简介
Aims
We present clinical, electroanatomical mapping (EAM), imaging, and catheter ablation (CA) strategies in patients with myocarditis-related ventricular tachycardia (VT).
Methods and results
Between January 2010 and July 2012, 26 consecutive patients underwent imaging-guided CA of myocarditis-related ventricular arrhythmias, 23 of 26 using a combined endo–epicardial approach. Segment per segment correspondence of late enhanced (LE) scar localization with EAM scar was assessed in all patients with available uni/bipolar maps (n = 19). Induced VTs were targeted prior to substrate modification. Late potentials (LPs) abolition constituted a procedural endpoint independently from VT inducibility. Clinical monomorphic VT was induced in 15 of 26 patients (57.7%) and was associated with epicardial LPs in 10 of 15, completely abolished in 7 of 10 patients. Of the 10 …
