Prognostic Impact of Different Types of Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias Stratified by Underlying Cardiac Disease.

ABSTRACT: Limited data regarding the outcome of patients with different types of ventricular tachyarrhythmias is available. This study sought to assess the prognostic impact of different types of ventricular tachyarrhythmias stratified by underlying cardiac disease. A large retrospective registry was used including all consecutive patients presenting with ventricular tachycardia (VT) and fibrillation (VF) on admission from 2002 to 2016. Patients with non-sustained VT (ns-VT), sustained VT (s-VT) and VF were compared using uni- and multivariable Cox regression models. Risk stratification was performed after stratification by underlying cardiac disease (i.e., acute myocardial infarction (AMI), ischemic heart disease (IHD), non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) and patients considered as lower-risk for ve
