Ventricular Tachycardia clinical trials at UCSD

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes (clinical efficacy and safety) of using supplemental non-invasive computational ECG and cardiac imaging analysis tools to help guide ablation of ventricular tachycardia.

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a leading cause of death and suffering in the Veteran population. Currently, ablation procedures are performed to destroy the diseased tissue that causes this problem. This study will test to see if an experimental strategy of only targeting regions of slow conduction without the induction of VT can improve the efficacy and safety of VT ablation. Once this study is completed, the investigators will know whether this ablation strategy could help increase the efficacy, safety and efficiency of ablation therapy of fatal heart rhythms.
