Aims
Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) occurs frequently in
patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), especially in high-risk
patients. The role of rapid-rate NSVT (RR-NSVT) documented by an
implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in DCM patients has not
been fully explored. This study aimed to determine the relationship
between RR-NSVT and the occurrence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias
(VTAs) in DCM patients with ICD.
