BACKGROUND: Substrate-based ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation is a first-line treatment in patients with structural cardiac disease and sustained VT refractory to medical therapy. Despite technological improvements and increased knowledge of VT substrate, recurrence still is frequent. Published data are lacking on the possible reduction in VT burden after ablation despite recurrence.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess VT burden reduction during long-term follow-up after substrate ablation and identify predictors of VT recurrence.
METHODS: We analyzed 234 consecutive VT ablation procedures in 207 patients (age 63 ± 14.9 years; 92% male; ischemic heart disease in 65%) who underwent substrate ablation in a single center from 2013 to 2018.
RESULTS: After follow-up of 3.14 ± 1.8 years, the VT recurrence rate was 41.4%. Overall, a 99.6% reduction in VT burden (median VT episodes per year: preprocedural 3.546 [1.347-13.951] vs postprocedural 0.001 [0-0.689]; P = .001) and a 96.3% decrease in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks (preprocedural 1.145 [0.118-4.467] vs postprocedural 0.042 [0-0.111] per year; P = .017) were observed. In the subgroup of patients who experienced VT recurrences, VT burden decreased by 69.2% (median VT episodes per year: preprocedural 2.876 [1.105-8.801] vs postprocedural 0.882 [0.505-2.283]; P <.001). Multivariable analysis showed persistence of late potentials (67% vs 19%; hazard ratio 3.18 [2.18-6.65]; P <.001) and lower left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) (30 [25-40] vs 39 [30-50]; P = .022) as predictors of VT recurrence.
CONCLUSION: Despite a high recurrence rate during long-term follow-up, substrate-based VT ablation is related to a large reduction in VT burden and a decrease in ICD therapies. Lower EF and persistence of late potentials are predictors of recurrence.
