Brief Summary

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients who are at risk of sudden death due to ventricular arrhythmia and who satisfy at least one of the following criteria are eligible for enrolment:
  • Class I indications for ICD
  • Survival of at least one episode of cardiac arrest due to VT or VF not due to a transient or reversible cause, or presumed to be due to VF when electrophysiological testing is precluded by other medical conditions; or
  • Spontaneous sustained ventricular tachycardia, or
  • Syncope of undetermined origin with clinically relevant haemodynamically significant sustained VT or VF induced at electrophysiological study when drug therapy is ineffective, not tolerated or not preferred, or
  • Class IIa Indication for ICD
  • Non-sustained VT with coronary disease, prior myocardial infarction, left ventricular dysfunction (≤ 40%) and inducible VF or sustained VT at electrophysiological study.
  • With prior myocardial infarction and LVEF less than 30 % (without prior life-threatening arrhythmia or sustained VT).
  • Patients candidate for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) need to be in functional Class III or IV of the NYHA classification.
  • Patients will be included only after having granted their informed consent to participate in the study, preceded by the delivery of appropriate information

Exclusion

  • VT/VF is associated with drug toxicity, electrolyte imbalance, hypoxia, electrocution or other reversible cause;
  • VT/VF occurred during the acute phase of infarction (\< 1 week) or during an unstable ischemic phase;
  • Incessant VT/VF;
  • Implanted pacemaker that is not going to be explanted or otherwise disabled;
  • Inability or refusal to provided informed consent
  • Tricuspid valvular disease or tricuspid mechanical heart valve (lead contraindication);
  • Unable to understand the purpose and plan of the study;
  • Geographically unstable or not available for follow-up as defined in the investigational plan;
  • Reduced life expectancy (≤ 1 year) for other than cardiovascular reasons;
  • Patient participating in another clinical study;
  • Patient of minor age (\< 18 years);
  • Pregnancy (Women of childbearing potential are required to have a negative pregnancy test within seven days prior to enrollment).
