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 |
