Recommendations for assessment of SHD and myocardial ischemia

COR LOE Recommendations References

I B-NR 1. In patients with known or suspected VA, echocardiography is recommended for evaluation of cardiac structure and function. S3.2.2.1,S3.2.2.2
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. S3.2.2.3S3.2.2.7
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. S3.2.2.8S3.2.2.10
