VT ablation in the real-world: Inducibility matters

Ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) has evolved around the concept of ischemic scar, providing the substrate for ventricular macro-reentry. These early concepts enabled the development of classical mapping techniques and ablation strategies, as exemplified by the seminal work of the late Marc Josephson [1]. Today, electrophysiologists are confronted with more heterogeneous etiologies, resulting in more challenging substrates.
