Background: Catheter ablation (CA) is increasingly recognized as an effective treatment for ventricular tachycardia (VT) in myocarditis patients, although current evidence is based on less robust data.

Methods: In this dual-center, retrospective study, we included 50 patients with biopsy-proven myocarditis and VT.
