Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization with a defibrillator (CRT‐D) are established therapies for secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with structural heart disease (SHD), but the rates of subsequent ICD/CRT‐D therapy widely differ among patients with SHD.
