VT ablation based on CT imaging substrate visualization: results from a large cohort of ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy patients.
Article in Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe eradication of ventricular tachycardia (VT) isthmus sites constitutes the minimal procedural endpoint for VT ablation procedures. Contemporary high-resolution computed tomography (CT) imaging, in combination with computer-assisted analysis and segmentation of CT data, facilitates targeted elimination of VT isthmi. In this context, inHEART offers digitally rendered three-dimensional (3D) cardiac models which allow preoperative planning for VT ablations in ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies. To date, almost no data have been collected to compare the outcomes of VT ablations utilizing inHEART with those of traditional ablation approaches.
methodsThe presented data are derived from a retrospective analysis of n = 108 patients, with one cohort undergoing VT ablation aided by late-enhancement CT and subsequent analysis and segmentation by inHEART, while the other cohort received ablation through conventional methods like substrate mapping and activation mapping. The ablations were executed utilizing a 3D mapping system (Carto3), with the mapping generated via the CARTO® PENTARAY™ NAV catheter and subsequently merged with the inHEART model, if available.
resultsResults showed more successful outcome of ablations for the inHEART group with lower VT recurrence (27% vs. 42%, p < 0.06). Subsequent analyses revealed that patients with ischemic cardiomyopathies appeared to derive a significant benefit from inHEART-assisted VT ablation procedures, with a higher rate of successful ablation (p = 0.05).
conclusionOur findings indicate that inHEART-guided ablation is associated with reduced VT recurrence compared to conventional procedures. This suggests that employing advanced imaging and computational modeling in VT ablation may be valuable for VT recurrences.
