Implication
Discourages stand-alone ICDs in asymptomatic CPVT and PES testing overall; reinforces expert consensus on conservative risk stratification.
Structured PICO
What are the indications for ICD and programmed electrical stimulation in patients with CPVT?
P
Population
Patients with Inherited Primary Arrhythmia Syndromes, specifically asymptomatic patients with a diagnosis of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT)
I
Intervention
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) as a stand-alone therapy; Programmed electrical stimulation
This expert consensus statement provides recommendations against the use of stand-alone ICD therapy in asymptomatic CPVT patients and programmed electrical stimulation in all CPVT patients.
Cite This Study
Priori et al. (2013) studied this question. ICD as a stand-alone therapy is not indicated in asymptomatic patients with CPVT, nor is programmed electrical stimulation indicated in CPVT patients.
