Catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias and in-hospital mortality: insights from the German-wide Helios hospital network of 5052 cases

Abstract

We reported in-hospital mortality rates after CA of ventricular arrhythmias in the largest multicentre, administrative dataset in Germany which can be implemented in quality management programs. Aside from comorbidities, a delayed hospital transfer to a CA performing centre is associated with an increased in-hospital mortality. This deserves further studies to determine the optimal management strategy.
