The aim of our investigation was to compare the effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation of ventricular tachycardia in patients after myocardial infarction conventional fluoroscopic catheter mapping vs. electroanatomic mapping. 52 patients with ventricular tachycardia after myocardial infarction were included, 17 of them passed radiofrequency ablation using electroanatomic mapping. The preference of electroanatomic mapping was indubitable. The visualization of the anatomical structures, evaluation of intracardiac electrical activation extension in relation to anatomic location using both conventional and stimulation mapping are the most optimal and useful method of radiofrequency ablation of ventricular tachycardia.
