Follow-up
The follow-up protocol comprised outpatient visits on the 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 12th months’ post-ablation, followed by regular assessments according to the assistant physician’s discretion. Patient’s data and outcomes were collected from electronic and physical medical records. If said records lacked all the required information, a structured telephonic interview was conducted. An ICD was implanted in all patients before discharge if not previously done. After the ablation, all ICDs were programmed with at least one zone of VT detection slower than the clinical VT.
