Background Pace-mapping is a commonly used electrophysiological (EP) procedure which
aims to identify exit sites of ventricular tachycardia (VT) by matching ventricular activation …

Over the last decades, substrate-based approaches to ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation
have evolved into an important therapeutic option for patients with various structural heart …

Background In the US, 1.4 million people have implanted ICDs for reducing the risk of
sudden death due to ventricular arrhythmias. Cardiac MRI (cMR) is of particular interest in …
