VT ablation reduces ICD therapy, hospitalization for arrhythmia
Ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) before placement of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is associated with a reduced risk of appropriate ICD therapy or ventricular arrhythmia (VA)-related hospitalization in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and chronic total occlusion of an infarct-related artery (IRA-CTO), findings from the PREVENTIVE VT trial have shown.
