DOI: 10.1111/jce.13326
Abstract: Although there is clear evidence to demonstrate that primary prevention implantable defibrillators (ICDs) reduce mortality in high‐risk patients, ICDs are underutilized. Limited data exist assessing referring physicians’ knowledge about guideline indications and attitudes towards ICDs,… read more here.
