Non-Invasive Programmed Stimulation (NIPS) to Guide the Subsequent VT Therapeutic Strategies

Summary

The aim of this study is to define the importance of non-invasive programmed stimulation (NIPS) in risk stratification of ventricular tachycardia (VT) recurrence after catheter ablation and to determine the optimal treatment strategy. The primary objective is to establish whether a new VT ablation based on NIPS inducibility will reduce the risk of VT recurrence compared to antiarrhythmic drug therapy.
