Your care team may suggest a type of cardiac ablation called ventricular tachycardia ablation if you have a type of very fast, erratic heartbeat called ventricular tachycardia. If you have an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), VT ablation may lower the number of shocks you get from the device.
VT ablation isn't recommended for all types of ventricular tachycardia. Your healthcare team may suggest medicines and other treatments first.
Ask a healthcare professional about your treatment options. Together you can talk about the pros and cons of VT ablation.
