Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to compare antiarrhythmic drug therapy with catheter ablation using the SmartTOUCH catheter (Biosense Webster Inc.) as treatment for patients with ventricular tachycardia and coronary artery disease


Clinical Trial Description

This is a multicenter, randomized prospective cohort study to compare the impact of catheter ablation with antiarrhythmic drug therapy for treating patients with sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) and coronary artery disease. Patients that meet all inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria will be recruited to the study cohort. After baseline measurements are taken, patients will be randomized in a 2:1 fashion to either undergo radiofrequency catheter ablation or receive antiarrhythmic drug therapy (amiodarone or sotalol). The in-clinic appointments include: enrollment, baseline, intervention, and follow-up every three months for one year post-ablation. At each follow-up visit, electrogram (ECG) and Holter monitoring tests will be performed to measure any episodes of ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Furthermore, interrogation of the patient's implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) will be performed at all follow-up visits to detect any episodes of ventricular tachyarrhythmia that required antitachycardia pacing (ATP) or shocks. ;
