Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Applied in Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia
Ventricular tachycardia(VT)is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death.Despite significant improvements in mapping and ablation strategies in recent years,the recurrence rate of VT remains high.Advanced magnetic resonance imaging techniques,such as late gadolinium enhancement,can provide important additional information for substrate ablation,not only improving the immediate success rate of VT ablation,but also significantly reducing the recurrence of VT after ablation.The effectiveness of magnetic resonance imaging in VT treatment has been confirmed in numerous studies.This article will review the progress of magnetic resonance imaging technique in VT ablation therapy.
