Ventricular Tachycardia and ICD Therapy Burden With Catheter Ablation Versus Escalated Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Catheter ablation improves ventricular tachycardia (VT) event-free (time to event) survival in patients with antiarrhythmic drug (AAD)-refractory VT and previous myocardial infarction (MI). The effects of ablation on recurrent VT and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy (burden) have yet to be investigated.
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to compare the VT and ICD therapy burden following treatment with either ablation …
