Timing of VT recurrence following CA of scar-related VT impacts subsequent risk of mortality. Patients experiencing VT recurrence within 1-6 months from the procedure are at particularly high risk. These data support the importance of intense postablation monitoring for at least 6 months after the procedure to identify patients with early VT recurrence who may benefit from additional therapeutic interventions to improve outcomes.
