Overview

Based on a randomized clinical trial evidence, Catheter ablation of VT is unlikely to be cost-effective compared with antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy. However, more detailed and better designed studies are needed to provide more informed cost-effectiveness analyses.

Cost effectiveness of therapy

Evidence from a randomized clinical trial has shown that Catheter ablation of VT is unlikely to be cost-effective compared with antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy. However, better designed studies with more details and more frequent quality of life assessments are required to provide more informed cost-effectiveness analyses[1]
