Funded Activity Summary

Ventricular tachycardia is a dangerous heart rhythm disturbance that affects people with scarring in the heart such as those with prior heart attacks or heart failure. Catheter ablation procedures, using wires passed from the groin, can be used to burn the short-circuits related to the scar. However in the majority of cases, it is very difficult to know when enough burning has been performed. This project aims to develop and validate several electrical and imaging endpoints for this procedure.
