The Multicenter Unsustained Tachycardia Trial (MUSTT) was not designed as an ICD trial per se, but rather to test whether EP-guided antiarrhythmic therapy would decrease the risk of SCD (17). The trial enrolled patients with CAD, LVEF 40% or less, NSVT, HF class I—III, and inducible VT during EP study. NSVT had to occur four days or more post-MI or revascularization. 704 inducible patients were randomized to EP-guided...
