CRO-INSIGHT: Utilization of Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in Non-ischemic and Ischemic Cardiomyopathy in a Single Croatian Tertiary Hospital Centre
This study confirmed that appropriate device activation improved survival in patients with an ICD/CRT-D. Age, NSVT, and history of decompensation were key predictors of device activation and survival outcomes. These findings underscore the need for individualized patient assessment when considering inserting ICDs, particularly in non-ischemic heart failure patients. Further research is needed to refine clinical guidelines and optimize patient selection for ICD therapy.
