Inducibility and Stability of Ventricular Tachycardia Inpatients Undergoing VT Ablation Under General Anesthesia
Inducibility and Stability of Ventricular Tachycardia Inpatients Undergoing VT Ablation Under General Anesthesia
This research study is being done to see whether general anesthesia (GA) affects our ability
 to start ventricular tachycardia (VT) during an VT ablation procedure.

 Data collected during this research study will help electrophysiologists and
 anesthesiologists to make the best decisions about the best anesthetic conditions to use to
 perform VT ablations.

 This research study is a "pilot" study. Pilot studies are done on a small group of subjects
 to learn if a larger study would be useful.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Patients with VT and have an implanted ICD who are scheduled for VT catheter ablation.

 -  Patients 18 years of age or older

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Patients with difficult airway management or patients with contra/ relative contra
 indication for general anesthesia or known allergies to any of the proposed anesthetic
 agents

 -  Women who are pregnant
