Abstract
A Point-of-View, Ventricular tachycardia can be controlled by radiofre quency or chemical ablation of the site of origin of the arrhythmia. H owever, these techniques are far from being accepted as routine treatm ent for this problem. This article describes the theoretical and pract ical background of catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia occurr ing late after myocardial infarction.
