Current Evidence and Future Directions for Cardiac Imaging in Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation: A Narrative Review

Management of ventricular tachycardia (VT) requires an integrated approach combining invasive therapy and cardiac imaging. This article reviews the principal imaging modalities and their integration with electroanatomical mapping systems to plan and guide procedures and to assess the success of VT ablation during follow-up. The central role of imaging in optimizing the efficacy and safety of VT ablation is emphasized. Studies demonstrating that imaging-supported workflows can improve substrate localization, reduce procedural times and radiation exposure, and lower recurrence rates are highlighted. Current limitations and future challenges are also discussed.
