Application of High Power Radio Frequency Energy in the Ventricular Tachycardia Treatment

Background: Patient's freedom from VT after RFA remains non-optimal and it depends on many factors. One of them is the effective reduction of the myocardium with RF energy during the operation. The standardization of the parameters of RF will help to increase the success of the procedure. Hypothesis: Radiofrequency ablation of ventricular tachycardias with high power parameters has comparable safety and leads to greater efficacy (absence of ventricular tachycardias and all types of cardioverter-defibrillator therapies) in the long-term compared with ablation with standard parameters in patients with structural heart disease. Purpose: to evaluate the safety and the efficiency of ablation of ventricular tachycardia in patients with structural heart disease using high power RF energy.
