Long-Term Mortality After Ablation of Ischemic Ventricular Tachycardia

The study did not examine mortality as a time-dependent variable or adjust for differences in other risk predictors. [...]the possibility could not be excluded that the ability to render VT noninducible may simply reflect a less extensive electroanatomical substrate associated with better long-term outcomes. [...]a strategy of early intervention soon after the initial VT episode (and earlier in the clinical course of ischemic VT) may provide a better test of whether VT ablation can contribute to lower mortality.
