Implication
May support RFA after pharmacotherapy failure in idiopathic VT; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm durability.

Intervention
Pharmacotherapy and radiofrequency (RF) ablation
Radiofrequency ablation is a highly successful treatment option for idiopathic ventricular tachycardia when empiric pharmacotherapy is ineffective or poorly tolerated.
