Catheter ablation of cardiac ventricular arrhythmias has made great progress from the initial simple arrhythmias of idiopathic outflow tract arrhythmias to complex arrhythmias substrate such as and ventricular tachycardia in structural heart disease. It gives credit to the understanding of arrhythmias mechanism, advanced mapping, and ablation techniques. However, challenging ablation still occurs even in catheter ablation of simple substrate such as ventricular arrhythmias from outflow tract. Also, endpoints of catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias are undefined especially in patients with non-inducibility. Furthermore, there are big difference between arrhythmias ablation type between developing and developed countries.
In this Research Topic, we aim to address the current technique, procedure endpoints, and clinical challenges in catheter ablation and mapping of complex arrhythmias (Original clinical study, case report, systematical review, and state-of-the-art strategy).
Manuscripts submitted should focus on but not limited to:
1) Current mapping and ablation technique of ventricular arrhythmias.
2) How to map and ablate outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias.
3) How to map and ablate ventricular arrhythmias from Purkinje systems.
4) How to map and ablate non-ischemic ventricular tachycardia (VT).
5) Mapping and ablation ventricular arrhythmias after the initial failed ablation attempts.
6) Appropriate paced site in left ventricle in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
