TLDR
Catheter ablation of VT in patients with structural heart disease results in 70% freedom from VT recurrence, with an overall transplant and/or mortality rate of 15% at 1 year, which is associated with improved transplant-free survival, independent of heart failure severity.About:

TL;DR: There was a significantly lower rate of the composite primary outcome of death, ventricular tachycardia storm, or appropriate ICD shock among patients undergoing catheter ablation than among those receiving an escalation in antiarrhythmic drug therapy.

Prophylactic Use of an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator After Acute Myocardial Infarction
Stefan H. Hohnloser,Karl-Heinz Kuck,Paul Dorian,Robin S. Roberts,John R. Hampton,Robert Hatala,Eric Fain,Michael Gent,Stuart J. Connolly +8 more
TL;DR: Prophylactic ICD therapy does not reduce overall mortality in high-risk patients who have recently had a myocardial infarction, and is associated with a reduction in the rate of death due to arrhythmia, that was offset by an increase in the rates of death from nonarrhythmic causes.

TL;DR: Among patients with heart failure in whom an ICD is implanted for primary prevention, those who receive shocks for any arrhythmia have a substantially higher risk of death than similar patients who do not receive such shocks.

TL;DR: Programming of ICD therapies for tachyarrhythmias of 200 beats per minute or higher or with a prolonged delay in therapy at 170 beats perminute or higher, as compared with conventional programming, was associated with reductions in inappropriate therapy and all-cause mortality during long-term follow-up.
