Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1) Documented ventricular tachycardia [1] Symptomatic ventricular tachycardia over 2 times on 12-leads ECG, Rhythm strip or implantable devices, within recent 6 months [2] ICD therapy (shock or ATP) within 6 months [3] In the case of PVC induced heart failure (LVEF <50%): PVC burden is over 15% on holter monitoring 2) Failed standard therapy for ventricular tachycardia [1] Patients who are unable to adapt to antiarrhythmic medications or whose ventricular tachycardia is uncontrolled even after 2 months of adequate treatment --AND-- [2] Previous failed catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia or were not suitable for catheter ablation (left ventricular thrombosis, severe lung disease, vascular abnormality, heart malformation, etc.) 3) Those whose life expectancy is expected to decrease due to ventricular tachycardia (required by the expert cardiologist) 4) Left ventricular ejection function = 15% 5) Functional class: NYHA class = II 6) 19 years old or older
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1) Those who do not agree to study registration 2) Those whose radiation therapy is not medically appropriate -When a suitable posture for radiation therapy is not possible -Others who are judged unsuitable by the judgment of radiation oncologist. 3) Those who have an extracorporeal circulatory system (ECMO) or left ventricular assist device or who require high-dose inopropics due to a cause other than ventricular tachycardia, (if the dose of Dopamine or Dobutamine is higher than 10 mcg / kg / min) 4) Life expectancy is less than 12 months, even if there is no ventricular tachycardia due to other diseases. 5) Pregnant or breast feeding
