Local impedance guides catheter ablation in patients with ventricular tachycardia

ConclusionOur findings suggest that LI is a sensitive parameter to guide RFC ‐ablation in patients with VT. LI indicates differences of tissue characteristics and generally is higher in patients with non‐ischemic cardiomyopathy. Hence, the etiology of the underlying cardiomyopathy needs to be considered when adopting LI for monitoring catheter ablation of VT.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
