DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2021.03.006
Abstract: BACKGROUND Global electrical heterogeneity (GEH) is associated with sudden cardiac death in the general population. Its utility in patients with systolic heart failure (HF) who are candidates for primary prevention (PP) implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/europace/euad122.415
Abstract: Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) receiving appropriate ICD-shocks are known to have a worse prognosis. We recently developed a new treatment concept for ICD-patients with… read more here.

Abstract: Introduction Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) can prevent sudden cardiac death due to ventricular arrhythmias in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). The aim of our study was to assess the cumulative burden, evolution and potential… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/openhrt-2022-002225
Abstract: Introduction Several studies have demonstrated that combining left ventricular ejection fraction and New York Heart Association functional class is insufficient for predicting risk of appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shock in primary prevention candidates. Hence, our… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12872-019-1218-9
Abstract: BackgroundBecause of previous ventricular arrhythmia (VA) episodes, patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) for secondary prevention (SP) are generally considered to have a higher burden of VAs than primary prevention (PP) patients. However, when PP patients… read more here.
