Catheter ablation of electrical storm in patients with structural heart disease
Original language description
Aims: Electrical storm (ES) adversely affects prognosis of patients and may become a life-threatening event. Catheter ablation (CA) has been proposed for the treatment of ES. Our goal was to evaluate the efficacy of CA ablation both in acute and long-term suppression of ES. Methods and results: Fifty consecutive patients with coronary artery disease (38), idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (5), arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (6), and/or with combined aetiology (1) underwent CA for ES. Mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 29 +/- 11%. All patients underwent electroanatomical mapping, and CA was performed to abolish all inducible ventricular arrhythmias. The ES was suppressed by CA in 84% of patients. During the follow-up of18 +/- 16 months, 24 patients had no recurrences of any ventricular tachycardia (VT; 48%). Repeated procedure was necessary to suppress the recurrent ES in 13 cases (26%). Statistical analysis revealed that low LVEF (22 +/- 3 vs. 31 +/- 1
