Preventive versus deferred catheter ablation of myocardial infarct–associated ventricular tachycardia: A meta-analysis

Preventive versus deferred catheter ablation of myocardial infarct–associated ventricular tachycardia: A meta-analysis

Background: The optimal timing of catheter ablation for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy remains unclear. Studies examining the impact of early preventive ablation of VT on rates of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapies and morta...
