2022 ESC Guidelines for the management of patients with ventricular arrhythmias and the prevention of sudden cardiac death

The 2022 ESC guideline covers risk stratification, the ICD for primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death, catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia, and disease-specific pathways. Below are the register's landmark device trials that underpin its ICD and CRT recommendations.

This guideline cites 7 of the 199 landmark trials in our Cardiology register.
