In a real-world cohort with long-term follow-up, adverse arrhythmic outcomes occurred in 18% of patients with symptomatic VA despite negative PVS, and this risk was significantly greater in patients with positive DE-CMR scar. Long term-monitoring, including the use of ICM, may be appropriate in these patients.
