Study shows catheter ablation reduces serious heart events more than drugs for heart attack patients.

The VANISH2 trial shows that catheter ablation is more effective than drug therapy in treating ventricular tachycardia for patients with a history of heart attacks. The study, involving 416 patients, found a 25% lower rate of death or serious arrhythmic events in those who received catheter ablation. This suggests a potential shift in treatment from drugs to ablation as a first option for these patients.
