  • Structural heart disease: ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathy diagnosed with cardiac imaging demonstrating either segmental myocardial dysfunction, or presence of scar.
  • At least one of the following monomorphic VT events despite prior attempted catheter ablation (or contraindication for ablation), and despite treatment with a class III antiarrhythmic drug (contraindicated, ineffective or not tolerated):
  • A: Sustained monomorphic VT documented on 12-lead ECG or rhythm strip terminated by pharmacologic means, DC cardioversion or manual ICD Therapy.
  • B: ≥3 episodes of monomorphic VT treated with antitachycardia pacing (ATP), at least one of which was symptomatic C: ≥ 5 episodes of monomorphic VT treated with antitachycardia pacing (ATP) regardless of symptoms D: ≥1 appropriate ICD shocks, E: ≥3 monomorphic VT episodes within 24 hours VT events must be confirmed by ECG/monitor or ICD download.
