I | B‐NR | 1. In patients with cardiomyopathy suspected to be caused by frequent and predominately monomorphic PVCs and for whom AADs are ineffective, not tolerated, or not preferred for long‐term therapy, catheter ablation is recommended. | S4.3.1–S4.3.10 |
IIa | B‐NR | 2. In patients with SHD in whom frequent PVCs are suspected to be contributing to a cardiomyopathy and for whom AADs are ineffective, not tolerated, or not preferred for long‐term therapy, catheter ablation can be useful. | S4.3.3, S4.3.11, S4.3.12 |
IIa | B‐NR | 3. In patients with focally triggered VF refractory to AADs and triggered by a similar PVC, catheter ablation can be useful. | S4.3.13–S4.3.17 |
IIa | C‐LD | 4. In nonresponders to cardiac resynchronization therapy with very frequent unifocal PVCs limiting optimal biventricular pacing despite pharmacological therapy, catheter ablation can be useful. | S4.3.18 |
