How are acute kidney injury (AKI) and #AblateVT related? In this study of #RFCA of scar VT, 10% had periprocedural AKI. This was strongly associated with ⬆️ risk of early & late post-procedural mortality. Learn more from @Dr_Santangeli et al. in #JACCCEP: https://t.co/IEsvB4ksqf https://t.co/IEsvB4ksqf
