About this trial

This study will assess whether more frequent measurement of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) - specifically health related quality of life (HRQL) - can improve the evaluation of the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD).

It is designed to have feasibility outcomes which contribute to answering the above.
