Recurr LPF-VT After Ablation- Prognosis

In 2020, I developed recurrent palpitations and was admitted to the ER. Adenosine was ineffective; sinus rhythm was restored with diltiazem. I was discharged on verapamil 40 mg, which I took for 3 months. In December 2022, I had recurrence of the same arrhythmia. Adenosine, cardioversion, and diltiazem were ineffective, and I remained drug-refractory for ~5 days, during which mild LV dysfunction was noted. I later reverted to sinus rhythm and underwent a successful ablation for LPF-VT, after which I remained asymptomatic. I took prescribed medications (including clopitab) regularly for ~6 months. In December 2024, I again had similar symptoms and was drug-refractory for several days. This time, moderate LV dysfunction was detected. I underwent repeat EPS and RFA, during which LPF-VT and AVNRT were identified and successfully ablated. Post-ablation, LV function recovered. I am currently asymptomatic and compliant with medications. What is my long-term prognosis ? Thank you
