Abstract
Real world data on management and outcomes of ventricular tachycardia (VT) storm are scarce. This prospective study evaluates the clinical profile, in-hospital outcome and intermediate outcome in patients presenting with VT Storm. A majority (36/50, 72%) were male and the age was 54 ± 15 years. Scar VT was the most common underlying substrate for VT stormand pleomorphic VT was the predominant morphology. Twenty-one (42%) patients underwent cardiac sympathetic denervation, 6 (12%) patients underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA), 3 (6%) patients amongst these underwent both the precedures in addition to conventional medical management. The overall mortality was 18% and VT free survival was 54%at 6 months follow up. VT recurrence was more common with severe LV dysfunction.
