Role of 3-Dimensional Architecture of Scar and Surviving Tissue in Ventricular Tachycardia: Insights From High-Resolution Ex Vivo Porcine Models [Original Articles]

Conclusions: The combination of high-resolution imaging data and ventricular simulations revealed the 3-dimensional distribution of surviving tissue surrounding the scar and demonstrated its involvement in VT pathways. The new knowledge obtained in this study contributes toward a better understanding of infarct-related VT.
