Coronary artery bypass surgery in ventricular arrhythmias



==ACCF/AHA Guidelines for CABG in Patients with Ventricular Arrhythmias == {{cquote|

Class I
1. CABG is recommended in patients with resuscitated sudden cardiac death or sustained ventricular tachycardia thought to be caused by significant CAD (≥50% stenosis of left main coronary artery and/or ≥70% stenosis of 1, 2, or all 3 epicardial coronary arteries) and resultant myocardial ischemia. (Level of Evidence: B)

Class III: HARM
1. CABG should not be performed in patients with ventricular tachycardia with scar and no evidence of ischemia. (Level of Evidence: C)}}
