Values reported as frequency (%).
*The primary outcome for nhVT was a composite of all-cause death, cardiovascular hospitalisation and recurrent VT, defined as sustained VT or PVC burden >10%. For shVT the primary outcome was a composite of arrhythmic death, VT storm (≥3 VT episodes in 24 hours) and appropriate shocks.
†Reported as a percentage of patients with SHD.
‡Reported as a percentage of patients with ICDs.
ICDs, implantable cardioverter defibrillators; ICM, ischaemic cardiomyopathy; nhVT, normal heart VT; PVC, premature ventricular contraction; SHD, structural heart disease; shVT, structural heart VT; VT, ventricular tachycardia.
