Abstract

Background: Non-ischemic cardiomyopathies can be primary (p-NICM) which involves mainly the heart muscle or caused by systemic disease with heart muscle involvement as it is seen in systemic infiltrative diseases (i-NICM). There is limited data on the safety and in-hospital outcomes of ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation in i-NICM. Methods: We identified patients who underwent VT ablation between 2018-2021 using the National Inpatient Sample Database. i-NICM include amyloidosis, hemochromatosis, or sarcoidosis. In-hospital complications include mortality, acute kidney injury (AKI), acute heart failure (AHF), bleeding, vasopressor use, blood transfusion and cardiac tamponade. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: There were 7,420 VT ablations, 7,235 had P-NICM and 185 had i-NICM. A multivariable analysis did not reveal any difference in mortality (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 0.81; 95% confidence interval 0.32-1.98; p=0.62), AHF aOR: 0.88 (0.41-1.81; p=0.69, AKI aOR:1.17 (0.83-1.65); p=0.36, blood transfusion aOR: 0.63 (0.25-1.59); p=0.33, vasopressor aOR: 0.86( 0.51-1.49); p=0.61 or pericardial effusion/ tamponade aOR: 1.16 (0.67-2.1); p=0.58 Figure Conclusion: Patients with i-NICM had similar in-hospital complications compared to P-NICM further supporting the safety of VT ablation in managing recurrent VT in patients with i-NICM.
