Abstract: BACKGROUND Cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) has been shown to reduce the burden of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks in small series of patients with structural heart disease (SHD) and recurrent ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT). OBJECTIVES This study… read more here.

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.

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.
