I | B‐NR | 1. In patients with known or suspected VA, echocardiography is recommended for evaluation of cardiac structure and function. | S3.2.2.3–S3.2.2.4 |
IIa | B‐NR | 2. In patients presenting with VA who are suspected of having SHD, even after normal echocardiographic evaluation, advanced cardiac imaging can be useful to detect and characterize underlying SHD. | S3.2.2.5–S3.2.2.7 |
IIa | C‐EO | 3. In patients with VA in whom myocardial ischemia is suspected, stress testing and/or coronary angiography and subsequent revascularization can be beneficial before catheter ablation to avoid significant ischemia during induced VT. | |
III: No Benefit | B‐NR | 4. In patients presenting with monomorphic VT, revascularization alone is not effective to prevent VT recurrence. | S3.2.2.8–S3.2.2.10 |
