Advanced cardiac imaging techniques such as MRI and CT enable 3D visualization of intramural scar tissue and conduction channels, improving the efficacy and safety of ventricular tachycardia ablation.
Innovation and progress in the field of medicine can be summarized as the refinement and elucidation of medical concepts and actions.Undoubtedly, theoretical postulations and etiopathogenetic hypotheses play pivotal roles in advancing medical knowledge.However, in the end, medicine takes its most important form in the practical act of patient care.Enhancing patients' treatment necessitates a deep understanding of their conditions, extending beyond mere diagnosis to encompass considerations of severity, extension, and prognosis.Medicine essentially comprises numerical data and definitions, but it pertains to the human body, which is a concrete, physical, 3D entity.Hence, visual aids, whether in the form of illustrations in the biographical texts or through radiological images, are indispensable for providing a clear and illustrative portrayal of diseases, diagnostic techniques, and therapeutic interventions.
Sensi et al. (Wed,) conducted a review in Ventricular tachycardia. Advanced cardiac imaging (MRI and CT) guided ablation was evaluated. Advanced cardiac imaging techniques such as MRI and CT enable 3D visualization of intramural scar tissue and conduction channels, improving the efficacy and safety of ventricular tachycardia ablation.
