Catheter ablation of right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia using contact force guidance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Outflow tract tachycardias (OTT) originating from the right or left ventricular outflow tract are thought to be benign. However, symptoms can be disabling and deterioration of left ventricular function may occur with a high arrhythmia burden.
