Non‐sustained ventricular tachycardia as a predictor of sudden cardiac death in patients with left ventricular dysfunction: A meta‐analysis

Background: Identifying patients at risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a challenge. Aim: To evaluate the performance of non‐sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) from 24 hour ambulatory electrocardiography as a predictor of SCD in patients with heart failure or non‐ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD). Methods and results: Study search and selection were performed by independent reviewers...
