Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Patient must be willing and able to provide written informed consent - Patient must be >= 18 years old - Patient must have an indication for endocardial VT ablation according to the European Society of Cardiology Guidelines for VT - Presence of a ischemic heart disease
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Contraindications for VT ablation (for example evidence of cardiac thrombi) - Patients with idiopathic VT. - Contraindications to both MRI and MDCT imaging: - MRI: determined using the standard contraindications for MRI as used for clinical purposes, documented allergic reaction to gadolinium. - MDCT: subjects with impaired renal function (severe renal insufficiency, MDRD GFR of
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To explore the technical performance and safety of scar-related VT ablation using CARTBox-CA platform in patients. * Technical performance will be determined by assessing the relation between the local surface mapping parameters and the local substrate parameters from imaging. * Safety will be established by evaluating (serious) adverse events related to the use of CARTBox-CA. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To explore usability of image-guided scar-related substrate mapping using CARTBox-CA software with a questionnaire. | — |
