Use of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) to Assess Quality of Life and Economic Evaluation of Cardiac Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia: a Feasibility and Cohort Study
This study will assess whether more frequent measurement of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) - specifically health related quality of life (HRQL) - can improve the evaluation of the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD). It is designed to have feasibility outcomes which contribute to answering the above.
• Adults (\>18 years) With an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) implanted \>3 months from time of recruitment and a previous episode of documented VT requiring therapy from the ICD.
• And impaired LV/RV function Willing and able to give written informed consent
