2024年2月2日 · Ventricular tachycardia ablation, also called VT ablation, uses cold or heat energy to create tiny scars in the heart. The scars block faulty signals that cause a rapid, erratic heartbeat. VT ablation is a treatment for a type of irregular …

2024年11月7日 · Cardiac ablation (catheter ablation) is a minimally invasive procedure that creates scars to stop the electrical impulses that cause irregular heart rhythms. Healthcare providers can use cardiac ablation to manage abnormal heart rhythms that don’t respond to …

2024年10月24日 · Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses radiofrequency energy (similar to microwave heat) to destroy a small area of heart tissue that is causing rapid and irregular heartbeats. Destroying this tissue helps restore your heart’s regular rhythm.

Learn more about ventricular tachycardia ablation, or VT ablation, which can be used to treat ventricular tachycardia.

2024年2月2日 · Cardiac ablation is a treatment for irregular heart rhythms, called arrhythmias. It uses thin, flexible tubes called catheters and heat or cold energy to create tiny scars in the heart. The scars block the faulty signals that cause irregular heartbeats.

Catheter ablation has been used to treat heart rhythm disorders for more than 25 years. This procedure targets the origin of the VT by placing a long, thin wire or catheter into the heart chambers through the veins of the leg.

2007年5月29日 · Electrophysiological study with catheter ablation is often warranted to confirm the diagnosis, to provide further evidence for the absence of ventricular scar or other disease, and often to cure the arrhythmia. Ablation is also an option for symptomatic nonsustained VT and frequent ventricular ectopy in these patients. 1.

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation targets clinical arrhythmias to prevent recurrence. Although treatment of VT initially required open heart surgery, it has since been replaced by percutaneous ablation, a safe and effective catheter-based therapy to ablate myocardium from either the endocardial or the epicardial surface.

2024年11月16日 · Catheter ablation is commonly used when antiarrhythmic drugs do not suppress ventricular tachycardia. Whether catheter ablation is more effective than antiarrhythmic drugs as a...

2016年11月21日 · Heart Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) VT is a dangerous heart rhythm that can lead to sudden death if not treated. The treatment of VT depends on the underlying cause. There is increasing use of catheter ablation for VT, particularly in those who have not responded to medicines.
