Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a life-threatening sequela found in patients with cardiomyopathy. ICDs can terminate ventricular arrhythmias, but recurrent device shocks lead to reduced quality of life and are associated with higher mortality.1–5 Radiofrequency catheter ablation has emerged as an effective treatment for VT refractory to anti-arrhythmic therapy and has also been shown to reduce…

Myocardial scars from infarction or replacement fibrosis in non-ischaemic cardiomyopathies are the common substrate for sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT).1,2 In selected patients at high risk of ventricular arrhythmias, placement of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is effective for prevention of sudden cardiac death.2 Although ICDs are effective in terminating VT…

Catheter-based ablation has been a well-established tool in the treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT). However, the effectiveness of catheter ablation may be limited by its ability to access sites of arrhythmogenic tissue and achieve adequate lesion size in target areas without risking collateral damage. Antiarrhythmic surgery would be an effective alternative in such situations. Despite the…
