Abstract

In this multcenter, international, randomized controlled trial, Tung et al (Circulation May 4, 2022; doi:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.060039, PMID 35507499) sought to assess the efficacy of early catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) at the time of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation as compared with conventional therapy. The Pan-Asia United States Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death trial enrolled patients from centers in China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan who had structural heart disease (SHD) and an indication for secondary prevention ICD or who had VT inducible at the time of electrophysiology study (EPS) and met criteria for primary prevention ICD.
