==Overview==
[[Radiofrequency ablation]] is used for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia in [[patients]] with [[left ventricular dysfunction]] secondary to previous [[MI]], [[bundle branch]] reentry circuits, [[cardiomyopathy]] as well as in [[idiopathic]] cases.
[[Catheter ablation]] is useful for treating [[ventricular arrhythmia]] when drugs are ineffective. [[Monomorphic VT]] is a  suitable target for [[ablation]]. Ablation can be used for [[polymorphic VT]] or [[VF]] if an initiating [[PVC]] focus or substrate is accessible.

* [[percutaneous ]] [[subxiphoid]] puncture is used for [[pericardial]] access.

== [[Ventricular arrhythmia]] in [[structurally normal heart]]==
* Ideopathic [[ventricular arrhythmia]] appears in structurally normal [[heart]] or without genetic predisposition disorders.
* [[Monomorphic ventricular arrhythmia]] is the Most common [[idiopathic ventricular arrhythmia]] 
* The underlying mechanism of [[ventricular arrhythmia]] is [[triggered activity ]] or abnormal [[automaticity]], or rarely [[reentry]].
* [[Catheter ablation]] is a choice approach for symptomatic [[patients]] or when [[antiarrhythmic medications]] is ineffective or not tolerated.
* The aim of the approach is finding the earliest site of [[ventricular]] activation or  [[ventricular]] pacing for inaccessible sites.

Overview

Catheter ablation is useful for treating ventricular arrhythmia when drugs are ineffective. Monomorphic VT is a suitable target for ablation. Ablation can be used for polymorphic VT or VF if an initiating PVC focus or substrate is accessible.
