    Abstract Despite substantial technological and procedural advances that have improved the efficacy and safety of AF ablation in recent years, the long-term durability of ablation lesions is still not satisfactory. There also remains concern regarding rare but potentially life-threatening procedure-related complications like cardiac tamponade and atrioesophageal fistulae. Current ablation strategies are aiming to optimize the trade-off between efficacy and safety, where more extensive ablation appears to inevitably increase the risk of collateral injury. However, new forms of energy application may have the potential to resolve this quandary. The emerging concept of high power-short duration radiofrequency ablation features a more favorable lesion geometry that appears ideally suited to create contiguous lesions in the thin-walled atrium. Moreover, novel non-thermal ablation methods based on electroporation appear to provide a unique selectivity for cardiomyocytes and to spare surrounding tissues composed of other cell types. Both, high power-short duration and electroporation ablation might have the potential to break the trade-off between effective lesions and collateral damage and to substantially improve risk-benefit ratios in AF ablation. In addition, both approaches lead to considerable reductions in ablation times. However, their putative benefits regarding efficacy, efficiency, and safety remain to be proven in randomized controlled trials.

    Abstract Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) MRI is capable of detecting not only native cardiac fibrosis, but also ablation-induced scarring. Thus, it offers the unique opportunity to assess ablation lesions non-invasively. In the atrium, LGE-MRI has been shown to accurately detect and localise gaps in ablation lines. With a negative predictive value close to 100% it can reliably rule out pulmonary vein reconnection non-invasively and thus may avoid unnecessary invasive repeat procedures where a pulmonary vein isolation only approach is pursued. Even LGE-MRI-guided repeat pulmonary vein isolation has been demonstrated to be feasible as a standalone approach. LGE-MRI-based lesion assessment may also be of value to evaluate the efficacy of ventricular ablation. In this respect, the elimination of LGE-MRI-detected arrhythmogenic substrate may serve as a potential endpoint, but validation in clinical studies is lacking. Despite holding great promise, the widespread use of LGE-MRI is still limited by the absence of standardised protocols for image acquisition and post-processing. In particular, reproducibility across different centres is impeded by inconsistent thresholds and internal references to define fibrosis. Thus, uniform methodological and analytical standards are warranted to foster a broader implementation in clinical practice.

    Abstract Ventricular tachycardia is the most frequent cause of sudden cardiovascular death in patients with structural heart disease. Radiofrequency ablation is the treatment cornerstone in this population. Main mechanism for structural heart disease-related ventricular tachycardia is re-entry due to presence of slow conduction area within the scar tissue. Electroanatomical mapping with high density catheters can elucidate the presence of both scar (voltage maps) and slow conduction (activation maps). Despite the technological improvements recurrence rate after ventricular tachycardia ablation is high. Cardiac magnetic resonance has demonstrated to be useful to define the location of the scar tissue in endocardium, midmyocardium and/or epicardial region. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that cardiac magnetic resonance can analyse in detail the ventricular tachycardia substrate in terms of core scar and border zone tissue. This detailed tissue analysis has been proved to have good correlation with slow conduction areas and ventricular tachycardia isthmuses in electroanatomical maps. This review will provide a summary of the current role of cardiac magnetic resonance in different scenarios related with ventricular tachycardia in patients with structural heart disease, its limitations and the future perspectives.
