Overview
Pharmacologic therapy for preventing VAs has yielded disappointing results in recent years. Therapy has been limited because of variable efficacy, pro-arrhythmic effects, patient compliance, and adverse effects from long-term therapy. As adjuvant suppressive therapy in patients with ICDs, amiodarone and sotalol have been shown to reduce the rate of recurrent VT (71% and 15–44%, respectively) when compared with beta-blockers or placebo 40. Current guidelines recommend pharmacologic therapy (amiodarone or sotalol) with or without adjunctive catheter ablation to prevent VT/VF recurrence and reducing ICD shocks [1]
