Implication

May support etiology-specific SCD risk assessment in VT; leaves open tailored prevention strategies pending prospective data.

Structured PICO

Population

117 patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT), including 40 with ischemic heart disease (IHD), 18 with idiopathic cardiomyopathy (ICM), 26 with miscellaneous heart disease (MHD), and 33 with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (IVT); 80 male, 37 female.

Outcome

Sudden death (SCD)hard clinical

Patients with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia have a favorable long-term prognosis with no sudden cardiac deaths observed, whereas those with VT and structural heart disease (IHD, ICM, MHD) have a high risk of sudden death.
