Hypothesis-generating for aggressive stepwise management in refractory VT; prospective trials needed before clinical adoption.
Does an aggressive protocol of blood-level-guided antiarrhythmic drugs and aneurysmectomy improve elimination of symptomatic arrhythmias in patients with recurrent ventricular arrhythmias?
An aggressive, stepwise approach using blood-level-guided antiarrhythmic drugs and surgical aneurysmectomy can effectively control recurrent symptomatic ventricular tachycardia.
