Toulouse University Hospital

Status: Unknown

Conditions: Ventricular Tachycardia

Treatments: Procedure: ventricular tachycardia ablation

Study type: Observational

Funder types: Other

Details and patient eligibility

About

Sudden cardiac death is a frequent cause of cardiovascular mortality. Numerous rhythmic risk assessment criterion have been described targeting the substratum, the cardiac nervous tone or the trigger of arrhythmias. Development of ventricular tachycardia ablation in the past few years show interesting results preventing the recurrence of ventricular arrhythmias.

Full description

Sudden cardiac death is a frequent cause of cardiovascular mortality. Numerous rhythmic risk assessment criterion have been described targeting the substratum, the cardiac nervous tone or the trigger of arrhythmias. Development of ventricular tachycardia ablation in the past few years show interesting results preventing the recurrence of ventricular arrhythmias.

Rhythmic risk assessment criterions have never been studied in relation with ventricular tachycardia ablation. The purpose of this study is to explore the modifications of these criterions after ventricular tachycardia ablation.
