Measure
ICD With Ablation
Patient will receive an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) with catheter ablation and standard medical management. Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD): An ICD is a battery-powered device placed under the skin that keeps track of heart rate. Thin wires connect the ICD to the heart. If an abnormal heart rhythm is detected, the device will deliver an electric shock to restore a normal heartbeat. Catheter Ablation: Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to destroy a small area of heart tissue that is causing rapid and irregular heartbeats. Destroying this tissue helps restore the heart's regular rhythm.

If an abnormal heart rhythm is detected, the device will deliver an electric shock to restore a normal heartbeat.
Ablation Only (Registry)
The registry will enroll patients who refuse an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and are thus not randomized. This arm will assess the efficacy of catheter ablation in the absence of background ICD therapy. Catheter Ablation: Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to destroy a small area of heart tissue that is causing rapid and irregular heartbeats. Destroying this tissue helps restore the heart's regular rhythm.
