Prospective, Non-randomized, Single-arm Study to assess the accuracy of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) for characterization of arrhythmogenic substrate in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy undergoing ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation
ICE imaging during VT ablation is currently largely used for definition of cardiac anatomy. The role of the technique to specifically define scar and arrhythmogenic substrate has not been systematically evaluated. The aim is to assess the efficacy of the technique to accurately define the arrhythmogenic substrate.

Areas of abnormal contraction (hypokinesia/akinesia) as determined by ICE imaging
Area with abnormal contraction as correlated the findings on voltage mapping (low voltage) of the left ventricle in patients with a prior myocardial infarction undergoing VT ablation.
Time frame: 1 week
Areas of abnormal contraction as determined by ICE imaging
Area of abnormal contraction correlating with the findings on voltage mapping (local abnormal ventricular activities) of the left ventricle in patients with a prior myocardial infarction undergoing VT ablation
