Echocardiography-based Motion Integration and Management for Substrate Characterization and STAR Therapy in Ventricular Tachycardias

Prospective, observational, single center, pilot study to analyze the feasibility of motion and structural data integration in patients with ventricular arrhythmia by means of artificial intelligence for improved arrhythmogenic substrate characterization and motion management during stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation.

This is a prospective, observational, single center, pilot study. Data from preprocedural contrast-enhanced cardiac computed tomography and optically-tracked 3D transthoracic echocardiography of patients receiving catheter ablation for ventricular arrhythmia will be analyzed by means of artificial intelligence in order to better characterize the ventricular arrhythmogenic substrate and to improve the definition methods of the planning target volume during the stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation therapy by integrating the motion data into volume demarcation.
