Summary

Prospective, Non-randomized, Single-arm Study to assess the accuracy of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) for characterization of arrhythmogenic substrate in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy undergoing ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation

Detailed description

ICE imaging during VT ablation is currently largely used for definition of cardiac anatomy. The role of the technique to specifically define scar and arrhythmogenic substrate has not been systematically evaluated. The aim is to assess the efficacy of the technique to accurately define the arrhythmogenic substrate.
