To the Editor — Thoughts on inducibility
With great interest we read the article of Mahida et al,1 who analyzed the outcome of different treatment strategies for ventricular tachycardia (VT) in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C). They compared the time to VT recurrence after prescribing antiarrhythmic drugs with the time to VT recurrence after ablation. When endocardial and combined endo-epicardial ablation were compared, an advantage (P = .05) for the combined approach was observed.1 No effect on mortality was found, irrespective of whether ablation or drug therapy was applied.
