A 33-year-old woman presented with sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). The 12-lead electrocardiogram, 3-dimensional (3D) picture of chest electrodes, and cardiac magnetic resonance were used to create a noninvasive 3D electrocardiographic imaging map to identify the most likely site of VT origin. This map was integrated with a 3D mapping system to aid in VT ablation. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
