People often remember visual information over brief delays while actively engaging with ongoing inputs from the surrounding visual environment. Depending on the situation, one might prioritize mnemonic contents (i.e.

It has been applied in highly selected patients mainly as bail-out procedure, when (multiple) catheter-ablations, together with anti-arrhythmic drugs, were unable to control the VAs. Despite the increasing clinical use there is still limited knowledge of the acute and long-term response of normal and diseased myocardium to STAR.

Recent guidelines indicate that in selected patients catheter ablation should be considered instead of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).
Objectives: This study aimed to analyze outcomes of patients referred for VT ablation according to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), tolerance of VT, and acute ablation outcome.
Aims: Patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) referred for catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) are at risk for end-stage heart failure (HF) due to adverse remodelling. Local unipolar voltages (UV) decrease with loss of viable myocardium. A UV parameter reflecting global viable myocardium may predict prognosis.

One possible way to achieve both is via multiple concurrent mnemonic representations along the visual hierarchy that differ systematically from the representations of perceptual inputs. To test this possibility, we examine orientation representations along the visual hierarchy during perception and working memory.
