3000 Study Results |
Inductions: |
The clinical VT was readily induced and recorded during the ® study. |
Mapping: |
The 3000® System map demonstrated a zone of slow conduction on the inferior wall leading to the tachycardia exit site. The earliest point was 50 ms before the onset of the QRS complex. |
Ablation: |
The EnGuide locator signal was used to guide two lines of RF lesions that crossed the zone of slow conduction just distal from the earliest point of activation. |
Case Outcome: |
The patient has been arrhythmia-free since the ® procedure. |
