The ability to assess prognosis in patients with serious ventricular arrhythmias treated with antiarrhythmic drugs by the degree of complexity on the 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram was evaluated in 59 survivors of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation. After conventional therapy had failed, patients were treated with investigational drugs until symptomatic VT was abolished. A Holter monitor recording, obtained once the therapeutic regimen was established, was graded for the presence or absence of asymptomatic VT. Fifty-two patients were asymptomatic at discharge and were followed for 700 days. Of 44 patients followed for 1 year, none had recurrent syncope or died if asymptomatic VT was absent at 1 month (p <0.002). After 700 days, 27 patients (82%) without asymptomatic VT at 1 month were doing well, compared with 11 patients (58%) with asymptomatic VT at 1 month (p <0.002). In patients at risk for sudden cardiac arrest, early abolition of asymptomatic VT on ambulatory monitoring can be used to predict a good long-term clinical response.
