Comprehensive electrophysiologic evaluation, insertion and induction of arrhythmia, catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia (VT)

AI EXPLANATION: Cardiac ablation for ventricular tachycardia is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat rapid, abnormal heartbeats that start in the lower chambers of the heart. During the procedure, a specialist threads thin, flexible wires called catheters through blood vessels directly into the heart. Electrical sensors map the heart's pathways and intentionally stimulate the irregular rhythm to pinpoint its source. Targeted energy—such as intense heat or cold—is then delivered to create tiny scars on the problematic heart tissue, disrupting the faulty electrical circuits and helping restore a normal heart rhythm.
