The Lead Podcast - Episode 117: A Discussion of Can ICD Electrograms Help Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation?

William H. Sauer, MD, FHRS, Brigham and Women's Hospital is joined by Wendy S. Tzou, MD, FHRS, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and Kishan Padalia, MD, University of Colorado, to discuss the results of ablation of sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (SMVT) are suboptimal. For many patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), ICD electrograms (ICD-EGs) provide the only available information on SMVT. ICD-EGs have the ability to distinguish morphologically distinct SMVT and can be used for pace mapping.
