ICD use associated with reduced mortality in patients with heart failure

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) use is with reduced short- and mortality in patients with failure, provided they are to survive substantially longer one year with good status. It is primary ICD use associated prevention because patients not had a ventricular before. Principal investigator Dr Schrage of the Karolinska in Stockholm.

Salvaging the data with a long-term look-back, investigators say the findings support a fresh view of this issue. PARIS, France—Early use of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) following PCI in patients at high risk of death is associated with a reduction in mortality over the long term, according to results of the Defibrillator After Primary Angioplasty (DAPA) study. DAPA, which randomized patients to ICD implantation between 30-60 days or to medical management, was halted prematurely after nearly 10 years of sluggish cardiac arrhythmia icd 10 enrollment. That along with the lack of data on ICD therapy limits the ability to adopt the findings in clinical practice without additional trials, said Danielle Haanschoten, MD (Isala Hospital, Zwolle, the Netherlands), who presented DAPA during a Tuesday Hot Line session at the European Society of Cardiology Congress 2019. “But the data do suggest that we might need more sophisticated risk-stratification tools to identify patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death early after acute MI,” she said.
