Recommendations regarding cardiac stereotactic body radiotherapy for treatment refractory ventricular tachycardia

Abstract

This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article.

Impact of High-Dose Irradiation on Human iPSC-Derived Cardiomyocytes Using Multi-Electrode Arrays: Implications for the Antiarrhythmic Effects of Cardiac Radioablation

“…Regarding the radiation dose used for cardiac radioablation, most clinical studies used 25 Gy administrated in a single fraction and some have also tried lower doses (15–20 Gy) [ 39 , 40 ]. As the optimal dose has not been established, systematic reviews were performed and efforts have been made to build an expert consensus for future practice [ 41 , 42 ].…”

Safety and Efficacy of Stereotactic Arrhythmia Radioablation for the Treatment of Ventricular Tachycardia: A Systematic Review

“…Recent reviews (28,29) showed that most of the patients treated with STAR had multiple recurrences of VT and one or more previous attempts of CA before treatment. As shown…”

“…Recent reviews ( 28 , 29 ) showed that most of the patients treated with STAR had multiple recurrences of VT and one or more previous attempts of CA before treatment. As shown in Table 1 , most of case series included patients with severe reduction of left ventricular ejection fraction and with III-IV NYHA class.…”
