A Point‐of‐View. Venfricular tachycardia can be cuntwUed by radiofrequency or chemical ablation of the site of origin of the arrhythmia. However, these techniques are far from being accepted as routine treatment for this problem. This article describes the theoretical and practical background of catheter ablation of ventricuiar tachycardia occurring late after myocardial infarction.
