Limited data is available regarding the outcome of patients with different types of ventricular tachyarrhythmias. This study aimed to assess the prognostic impact of different types of ventricular tachyarrhythmias stratified by underlying cardiac disease. VF was associated with worse long-term prognosis compared to s-VT in IHD patients, while the risk of all-cause mortality did not differ significantly between VF and s-VT patients in those with AMI, NICM, and patients considered at lower risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
Limited data regarding the outcome of patients with different types of ventricular tachyarrhythmias is available. This study sought to assess the prognostic impact of different types of ventricular tachyarrhythmias stratified by underlying cardiac disease. A large retrospective registry was used including all consecutive patients presenting with ventricular tachycardia (VT) and fibrillation (VF) on admission from 2002 to 2016. Patients with non-sustained VT (ns-VT), sustained VT (s-VT) and VF were compared using uni- and multivariable Cox regression models. Risk stratification was performed after stratification by underlying cardiac disease (i.e., acute myocardial infarction (AMI), ischemic heart disease (IHD), non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) and patients considered as lower-risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias). The primary endpoint was defined as all-cause mortality at 2.5 years. Secondary endpoints were cardiac death at 24 h, all-cause mortality at 5 years, cardiac rehospitalization and a composite arrhythmic endpoint at 2.5 years. In 2422 consecutive patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias, most patients were admitted with VF (44%), followed by ns-VT (30%) and s-VT (26%). Patients with VF suffered most commonly from AMI (42%), whereas heart failure was more common in s-VT patients (32%). In patients with AMI (HR = 1.146; 95% CI 0.751-1.750; p = 0.527) and in the lower-risk group (HR = 1.357; 95% CI 0.702-2.625; p = 0.364), the risk of all-cause mortality did not differ in VF and s-VT patients. In IHD patients, VF was associated with impaired prognosis compared to s-VT (HR = 2.502; 95% CI 1.936-3.235; p = 0.001). In conclusion, VF was associated with worse long-term prognosis compared to s-VT in IHD patients, whereas the risk of all-cause mortality among VF and s-VT patients did not differ in patients with AMI, NICM and in patients considered at lower risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
