Po-01-141 safety and efficacy of oral anticoagulant in patients undergoing ventricular tachycardia ablation
Periprocedural stroke is a devastating complication of any left-sided electrophysiological procedure. Limited data exist regarding post-Ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation antiplatelet or anticoagulation strategy – often extrapolated from clinical experience with catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.

Po-01-108 elucidating the mechanism of atrial fibrillation in lamin a/c heart disease using human ipsc-derived atrial cardiomyocytes
Mutations in the LMNA gene, encoding the nuclear envelope proteins lamin A/C, cause cardiac arrhythmias, conduction disease, and dilated cardiomyopathy. Malignant arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachycardia are common and pose an increased risk of stroke and sudden cardiac death.

Patients treated with catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia after an ICD shock have lower long-term rates of death and heart failure hospitalization than do patients treated with medical management only
Background: Ventricular arrhythmias in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) adversely affect outcomes. Antiarrhythmic approaches to ventricular tachycardia (VT) have variable efficacy and may increase risk of ventricular arrhythmias, worsening cardiomyopathy, and death. Comparatively, VT ablation is an alternative approach that may favorably affect outcomes.Objective: To further explore the effect on long-term outcomes after catheter ablation of VT, we compared patients with history of ICD shocks who did not undergo ablation, patients with a history of ICD shocks that underwent ablation, and patient...
