Invasive electrophysiology Intracardiac echocardiography for optimisation of RF ablation for incessant idiopathic ventricular tachycardia originating from the aorto-mitralis continuity in a patient with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy

Abstract

We describe a case of a 67-year-old woman with incessant idiopathic ventricular tachycardia and tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy who underwent a successful RF ablation of the arrhythmic focus located in the aorto-mitral conntinuity. The optimal approach and titration of RF energy was achieved by means of the intracardiac echocardiography. The regression of signs of heart failure has been also observed.
