Abstract

Arrhythmias arising from the ventricular outflow tracts are commonly encountered. Although largely benign, they can also present with heart failure and sudden cardiac death. Mapping and ablation of these arrhythmias is commonly performed in the electrophysiology laboratory with a high success rate, but occasionally can prove challenging to abolish. This article discusses the mapping and ablation of outflow tract arrhythmias and the challenges that can be overcome by a systematic approach.
