Now we know that ablation is a reasonable option for first-line treatment instead of starting with antiarrhythmic medication therapy," Sapp said. In the VANISH2 (Ventricular Tachycardia ...

A study found that undergoing a cardiac ablation procedure first—before taking any antiarrhythmic therapies—may be the better ...

Ablation of supraventricular tachycardia in elderly persons presents a challenging problem to electrophysiologists. Friable cardiac structures, prone to catheter perforation, comorbid ...

Clinicians typically first turn to antiarrhythmic drugs, but switching up the order may be offer patients better outcomes.

Ablation sites (maroon circular tags) abolished ventricular tachycardia in this patient.

Though new, and not widely available, this technique has proven to have success in patients that have not responded to traditional ablation for ventricular tachycardia. For non-invasive ablation ...
