EHRA/HRS/APHRS expert consensus on ventricular arrhythmias

[...]many patients exhibit multiple forms of VAs over time. [...]clinicians who encounter patients with VAs face important questions regarding which diagnostic tests are needed and which treatments, if any, should be offered. [...]the specific arrhythmia and the underlying structural heart disease (SHD), if any, may have important prognostic and treatment implications. Wherever appropriate, the reader is referred to other publications regarding the indications for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation [1,2], catheter ablation [3], inherited arrhythmia syndromes [4,5], congenital heart disease (CHD) [6], the use of amiodarone [7], and the management of patient with ICD shocks [8], syncope [9], or those nearing end of life [10]. The risk of cardiac events is often dictated by an underlying heart disease rather than the arrhythmia. [...]optimal treatment of underlying cardiovascular diseases and risk factors is recommended.
