Abstract

This study examines the predictive capacity of right heart function parameters, including echocardiographic indices, on long-term outcomes for heart failure (HF) patients treated with catheter ablation for recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT). Advances in diagnostic  imaging  and  therapeutic  strategies  are  integrated  to refine patient stratification and optimize care pathways.JRCD 2023; 4(7): 138–144

Keywords
