Comparative effectiveness of ventricular tachycardia ablation versus escalated antiarrhythmic drug therapy by location of myocardial infarction: A sub-study of the VANISH trial

CONCLUSIONThe effectiveness of VT ablation versus escalated pharmacological therapy varies based on the location of the MI. Patients with MI scars located only in non-inferior regions of the ventricles derive greater benefit from VT ablation in reducing VT-related events. Further studies are required to explore reasons for this finding and to assess the impact of VT treatment strategies based on MI location in optimizing outcomes.
