INFINITY-Prospective Cohort Study of Mechanistic Associations between Intra-Myocardial Fat Deposition and Ventricular Tachycardia in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
Brief description of study
This study will focus on fat buildup inside the heart muscle, a newly recognized factor that makes patients vulnerable to such fast heart rates, or ventricular tachycardia, after a heart attack. This work may identify more successful strategies for curing dangerously fast heart rates.
Adult subjects with prior history of myocardial infarction and ventricular tachycardia, will be recruited from the inpatient and outpatient cardiology practices at Penn Medicine.
