Summary

This study looked at whether using detailed MRI images of heart scar tissue can improve the success of a procedure called ablation for people with a dangerous heart rhythm problem (ventricular tachycardia). 104 adults with structural heart disease took part. The goal was to see if MRI-guided ablation reduces the chance of the rhythm problem coming back compared to standard methods.
