Are More Complex Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators Associated With an Increased Mortality? Lessons Learned from Clinical Trials

We compared 1-year survival in patients receiving implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) that provide only shock therapy with more advanced ICDs that provide antitachycardia pacing, bradycardia pacing, low-energy cardioversion, and advanced detection algorithms. Outcome in patients with adva...

Zusammenfassung:We compared 1-year survival in patients receiving implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) that provide only shock therapy with more advanced ICDs that provide antitachycardia pacing, bradycardia pacing, low-energy cardioversion, and advanced detection algorithms. Outcome in patients with advanced-generation ICD systems was similar or improved compared with outcome in patients receiving ICDs with only monophasic shock.
