Documented syncopal ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation without correctable causes (e.g. drug-induced) |
Undocumented unexplained syncope likely to be due to ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation: |
Inducible sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia with severe haemodynamic compromise, in the absence of another competing diagnosis as a cause of syncope |
Very depressed left ventricular systolic function according to current guidelines |
Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, established long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, in the absence of another competing diagnosis for the cause of syncope or when a ventricular tachyarrhythmia cannot be excluded as cause of syncope |
