Title
Predictors of Success in Ablation of Scar-Related Ventricular Tachycardia
Abstract
During ablation of re-entrant ventricular tachycardia (VT) 3-dimensional mapping systems are now used to properly delineate the scar tissue and aid ablation of scar-related VT. The aim of our study was to outline how the mode of ablation predicts success and recurrence in large scar-related VT. When comparing patients with recurrence and patients with no recurrence, univariate analysis showed that number of ablation lesions (28 ± 8 vs. 12 ± 8, P = 0.01) and more linear ablation lesions rather than focal lesions (P = 0.03) were associated with long-term success. We demonstrated that more extensive ablation lesions and creation of linear lesions is associated with better success rate and lower recurrence rate during ablation of large scar-related ventricular tachycardia.

Interview with Professor Jamie DaviesMy experience with Libertas Academica was very positive from submission to acceptance. The reviewers' comments were very interesting and constructive. The author interface was user-friendly and very effective. The publishing process was fast and convenient. I recommend this journal.
