Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) aims to treat the underlying arrhythmia substrate to prevent ICD therapies. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the safety and efficacy of VT ablation prior to or at the time of secondary prevention ICD implantation in patients with coronary artery disease, as compared with deferred VT ablation. Based on a systematic literature search, three randomised trials were considered eligible for inclusion in this analysis, and data on the number of patients with appropriate ICD shocks, appropriate ICD therapy, arrhythmic storm, death and major complications were extracted from each study. On pooled analysis, there was a significant reduction of appropriate ICD shocks (OR 2.58; 95% CI [1.54–4.34]; p<0.001) and appropriate ICD therapies (OR 2.04; 95% CI [1.15–3.61]; p=0.015) in patients undergoing VT ablation at the time of ICD implantation without significant differences with respect to complications (OR 1.39; 95% CI [0.43–4.51]; p=0.581). Mortality did not differ between both groups (OR 1.30; 95% CI [0.60–2.45]; p=0.422). Preventive catheter ablation of VT in patients with coronary heart disease at the time of secondary prevention ICD implantation results in a significant reduction of appropriate ICD shocks and any appropriate ICD therapy compared with patients without or with deferred VT ablation. No significant difference with respect to complications or mortality was observed between both treatment strategies.

Abstract Aims Improved risk stratification to identify non-ischaemic heart failure patients who will benefit from primary prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is needed. We examined the potential of ventricular arrhythmia to identify patients who could benefit from an ICD. Methods and results A total of 850 non-ischaemic systolic heart failure patients with left ventricle ≤35% and elevated N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptides had a 24-h Holter monitor recording performed. We examined present non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT), defined as ≥3 consecutive premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) with a rate of ≥100/min, and number of PVCs per hour stratified into low (&lt;30) and high burden (≥30) groups. Outcome measures were overall mortality, sudden cardiac death (SCD), and cardiovascular death (CVD). In total, 193 patients died, 49 from SCD and 125 from CVD. Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (365 patients) was significantly associated with increased all-cause mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 1.47; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07–2.03; P = 0.02] and to CVD (HR 1.89; CI 1.25–2.87; P = 0.003). High burden PVC (352 patients) was associated with increased all-cause mortality (HR1.38; CI 1.00–1.90; P = 0.046) and with CVD (HR 1.78; CI 1.19–2.66; P = 0.005). There was no statistically significant association with SCD for neither NSVT nor PVC. In interaction analyses, neither NSVT (P = 0.56) nor high burden of PVC (P = 0.97) was associated with survival benefit from ICD implantation. Conclusion Ventricular arrhythmia in non-ischaemic heart failure patients was associated with a worse prognosis but could not be used to stratify patients to ICD implantation.
