This paper supports the efficacy of a substrate-guided strategy targeting specific markers of arrhythmogenicity identified during sinus rhythm. AMap proves highly efficient acutely but does not improve overall VT-free survival, suggesting that in patients with advanced cardiac disease, life-threatening arrhythmias can be successfully treated by ablation in sinus rhythm, thus limiting procedural risks.
