Recommendations for catheter ablation of PVCs in patients with or without LV dysfunction

COR LOE Recommendations References

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. S4.3.1S4.3.10
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. S4.3.13S4.3.17
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
