Abstrakt: The article presents a research study on the integration of magnetic resonance scar characterization and three-dimensional (3D) electroanatomic maps into the navigation system to guide ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT). The study seeks to identify the algorithm that suits to the electroanatomic voltage maps (EAM). It states that the scar characterization through contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (CE-CMR) has resemblance with EAM and can be integrated in VT ablation guide.
