Abstract

Patients with drug-resistant, life-threatening, and recurrent ventricular tachycardia have a poor prognosis. In recent years, invasive methods for ablation of the arrhythmogenic myocardial substrate have been developed and include: catheter ablation with DC-shock or radiofrequency energy, operative methods including endocardial resection, endocardial encircling, laser coagulation and cryothermal freezing. A prerequisite of these methods is the exact localization of the origin of ventricular tachycardia which sometimes is in the border zone of a myocardial infarction or aneurysm, but sometimes is located in apparently healthy myocardium (1, 4)
