| Ref. | Treatment strategy | Arrhythmia reduction | SCD prevention | Side effects | Clinical use | Cost effectiveness |
| Mazzanti et al[44], 2022; Baltogiannis et al[45], 2019; Zhou et al[46], 2011 | β-blockers alone | 60%-70% | Moderate | Fatigue, bradycardia | First-line | High |
| Watanabe et al[48], 2011 | β-blockers + Flecainide | 80%-90% | High | Proarrhythmia risk | Refractory cases | Moderate |
| Kannankeril et al[50], 2017 | Carvedilol | 70%-80% | Moderate-high | Hypotension, fatigue | Alternative first line | High |
| Penttinen et al[52], 2015; Kobayashi et al[53], 2009 | Dantrolene + β-blockers | 75%-85% | High | Hepatotoxicity, weakness | Experimental | Unknown |
| van der Werf et al[55], 2011 | ICD | > 95% | Very high | Device complications | High-risk patients | Low-moderate |
| De Ferrari et al[59], 2015; Hofferberth et al[60], 2014 | LCSD | 70%-80% | High | Surgical risks | β-blocker failure | Moderate |
