Incidence and Predictors of Appropriate Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Therapy in Japanese Ischemic Heart Disease Patients
The incidence of appropriate ICD therapy was comparable in primary and secondary prevention among Japanese IHD patients. We need to recognize the high-risk period for second appropriate ICD therapy after the first therapy and sustained VT as index life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmia as a risk factor for appropriate ICD therapy.
