Ventricular tachycardia exit site location within myocardial reinnervation zones predicts hemodynamic stability in ischemic cardiomyopathy
VT exit site location adjacent to distinct scar zones independently predicts hemodynamic stability. CSZ exits are associated with instability, while PIBZ exits maintain stability. These findings may reflect differential post-infarction reinnervation patterns and mechanical forces between scar zones, enhancing risk stratification and guiding ablation strategy selection in ischemic VT.
