Modification of Rhythmic Risk Assessment by Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation
Modification of Rhythmic Risk Assessment by Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation
Sudden cardiac death is a frequent cause of cardiovascular mortality. Numerous rhythmic risk
 assessment criterion have been described targeting the substratum, the cardiac nervous tone
 or the trigger of arrhythmias. Development of ventricular tachycardia ablation in the past
 few years show interesting results preventing the recurrence of ventricular arrhythmias.

 Rhythmic risk assessment criterions have never been studied in relation with ventricular
 tachycardia ablation. The purpose of this study is to explore the modifications of these
 criterions after ventricular tachycardia ablation.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Patients undergoing ventricular tachycardia,

 -  patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy according to European Society of Cardiology
 Guidelines,

 -  patients with implanted cardiac defibrillator.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Contra-indication to stress test,

 -  permanent atrial fibrillation,

 -  permanent ventricular pacing,

 -  left bundle block.
