Overview

Adjunctive ablation may curb VT recurrences in ICM; leaves open survival benefit and need for targeted RCTs.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and ventricular tachycardia (VT)
I
Intervention
Catheter ablation, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), pharmacological antiarrhythmic therapy, and emerging concepts (sympathetic cardiac denervation, radioablation)
O
Outcome
Prevention of VT recurrences and sudden cardiac death

Catheter ablation reduces VT recurrence in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and is particularly recommended for recurrent VT after ICD therapy, alongside optimized ICD programming.
