A member asked:

How accurate is 2d echocardiogram likelyhood of nonsustained vt in" normal structure heart" mitral valve repair few yrs on with excellent echo result?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mixed up: 2D echo is extremely accurate for assessing the physical structure of a heart, e.g., after MV repair. While there is a general correlation of NSVT with low EF, the 2D echo does NOT, per se, predict arrhythmia or rule them out.
