Inducibility and Stability of Ventricular Tachycardia in Patients With Structural Heart Disease Undergoing VT Ablation Under General Anesthesia (Pilot Study)
This research study is being done to see whether general anesthesia (GA) affects our ability
to start ventricular tachycardia (VT) during an VT ablation procedure.
Data collected during this research study will help electrophysiologists and
anesthesiologists to make the best decisions about the best anesthetic conditions to use to
perform VT ablations.
This research study is a "pilot" study. Pilot studies are done on a small group of subjects
to learn if a larger study would be useful.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients with VT and have an implanted ICD who are scheduled for VT catheter
ablation.
- Patients 18 years of age or older
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with difficult airway management or patients with contra/ relative contra
indication for general anesthesia or known allergies to any of the proposed
anesthetic agents
- Women who are pregnant
