Abstract:
Advances in portable high-speed computer technology have allowed intraoperative mapping of the ventricular endocardium. Accurate and highly precise endocardial maps have rendered certain types of ventricular tachycardia curable. This article discusses the options available to patients with ventricular tachycardia and places special emphasis on high-speed precision mapping and endocardial resection for cure.
