Abstract

Aim: To compare outcomes among patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator/cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator undergoing outpatient ventricular tachycardia (VT) catheter ablation using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) versus no ICE. Patients & methods: Patients were classified into ICE (n = 1143)/non-ICE (n = 1677) groups based on ICE procedure codes. Patients in each group were propensity matched on study covariates. Survival analyses were used to assess outcomes. To examine residual confounding, falsification outcomes were evaluated. Results: ICE patients had a 24% lower risk of all-cause readmissions, 24% lower risk of cardiovascular-related and 20% lower risk of VT-related readmissions compared with non-ICE patients. Falsification analyses for ICE use association were nonsignificant. Conclusion: Patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator/cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator undergoing VT ablation with ICE use had significantly lower likelihood of VT-related readmission.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
