How old is too old for Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation (VTA) in the United States? 🫀@HRS_O2Journal heartrhythmopen.com/article/S2666-… Our study reveals promising trends: 🔹 Aging population: VTA is increasingly performed in older adults. 🔹 Encouraging results: Overall adverse events were not significantly different across age groups. 🔹 Risks in 80+: Mortality & hemorrhage were higher in this group—highlighting the need for careful management. 🔹 Gender gap: Fewer women undergo VTA compared to men. 🔹 Regional differences: The South leads in VTA, while the West shows a decline. VTA can be safe and effective across all ages, but individualized care is key for the elderly.
