Ventricular Tachycardia
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this registry database is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of functional ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation using SENSE protocol in patients with ischaemic VT. Mortality and the need for ICD therapies at 12 months post-ablation will be compared with propensity-matched controls undergoing substrate-based ablation alone.
Detailed description
This is an international multicentre prospective registry. Participating centres will collect data during the pre-assessment, procedure, and follow-up visits at 6 and 12 months, according to standard practice. It is anticipated that the enrolment duration will be approximately 12 months, with the data being matched with that collected from a control group of patients undergoing conventional Ventricular tachycardia ablation methods.
