What is an arrhythmia?An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. Your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. Changes in the electrical signals that control your heartbeat cause arrhythmias.When your heart beats faster than normal, it's called tachycardia.When your heart beats too slowly, it's called bradycardia.When the signal to beat comes too early, it's calle…

Over the last decade, radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) has become an established treatment for ventricular arrhythmias (VA). Due to the challenging nature of visualizing lesion formation in real time and ensuring an effective transm…
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a life-threatening cardiac rhythm disturbance which leads to sudden cardiac death (SCD), ventricular fibrillation, electrical storm, hemodynamic collapse, and syncope. VT patients with cardiomyopathy (diseas…
