(I, C) 4. Prompt and complete coronary revascularization is recommended to treat myocardial ischemia that may be present in patients with recurrent VT or VF. (I, C) 5. Implantation of an LV assist device or extracorporeal life support should be considered in hemodynamically unstable patients with recurrent VT or VF despite of optimal medical treatment (IIA, B) 6. Cardiac assist support and revascularization in specialized centers may be considered in patients with refractory cardiac arrest ( IIB, C)

Urgent coronary angiography followed, when indicated, by revascularization is recommended in patients with recurrent VT or VF when myocardial ischemia cannot be excluded. (I, C) 5. Correction of electrolyte imbalance is recommended in patients with recurrent VT or VF (I, C)
8 Prevention and management of sudden cardiac death associated with acute coronary syndromes: in-hospital phase. Defibrillation/cardioversion/drugscatheter ablation 6.

Intravenous lidocaine may be considered for the treatment of recurrent sustained VT or VF not responding to beta-blockers or amiodarone or in the presence of contraindication to amiodarone. (II B, C) 9. Prophylactic treatment with anti-arrhythmic drug (other than beta-blockers) is not recommended. (III, B)
9 Prevention and management of sudden cardiac death associated with acute coronary syndromes: in-hospital phase. Pacing/implantable cardioverter defibrillator 1. reprogramming a previously implanted ICD is recommended for patients with recurrent inappropriate ICD therapies. (I, C) 2.
