Reperfusion therapy during acute myocardial infarction results in myocardial salvage and improved ventricular function but may also influence the arrhythmogenic substrate for ventricular tachycardia (VT). This study used electroanatomic mapping and infarct histology to assess the impact of reperfusion on the substrate and on VT characteristics late after acute myocardial infarction.
