Mapping and Ablating Ventricular Premature Contractions That Trigger Ventricular Fibrillation: Trigger Elimination and Substrate Modification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a malignant arrhythmia, usually initiated by a ventricular premature contraction (VPC) during the vulnerable period of cardiac repolarization. Ablation therapy for VF has been described and increasingly reported.
