Prognostic role of inducible ventricular tachycardia in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and asymptomatic nonsustained ventricular tachycardia.

Abstract:

:We studied the prognostic relevance of inducible ventricular tachycardia in 32 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and spontaneous nonsustained asymptomatic ventricular tachycardia. Programmed ventricular stimulation included basic drive cycle lengths of 600, 500, 430, 370, 330 and 300 msec at single, double, and triple extrastimuli. Ventricular tachycardia (greater than or equal to 6 beats) was initiated in 7 patients (22%), with sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia being seen in 4 of them. During median follow-up of 21 months (13-44), 14 patients died. Sudden cardiac death occurred in two of the seven patients with inducible tachycardia and in only one of the 25 patients in whom it was not possible to induce tachycardia. Although patients with inducible tachycardia did not differ clinically from those in whom tachycardia could not be induced, the projected mean survival time was significantly shorter in those with inducible tachycardia (10 months vs. 32 months, P = 0.04). For late sudden cardiac death, the positive predictive value of inducible tachycardia was 28%. The negative predictive value was 96%. We conclude that induction of ventricular tachycardia by programmed stimulation might indicate poorer prognosis in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
