Summary: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a life-threatening heart rhythm disorder. Special pacemakers called implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) help treat VT episodes, however they do not prevent the VT episodes from occurring. Catheter ablation for VT is a minimally-invasive and established procedure for preventing VT recurrence. This involves placing wires in the heart to find the diseased areas t...
Summary: This prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized-controlled trial compares two treatment strategies in high-risk ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) patients referred for primary ICD implantation. Participants will be randomized to receive either prophylactic VT ablation within three months of ICD implantation or continued medical management. The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of preve...
