Summary

This study tests whether adding a special alcohol injection to the standard heart procedure (ablation) can better control dangerous heart rhythms in people with prior heart attacks. About 156 adults with an implanted defibrillator will be randomly assigned to get ablation alone or ablation plus the alcohol. The goal is to see if the combination reduces repeat episodes, hospital stays, and serious complications.
