Why the study?
Does ICD therapy provide a good prognosis in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to idiopathic ventricular fibrillation and persistently normal ECGs?
Does ICD therapy provide a good prognosis in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to idiopathic ventricular fibrillation and persistently normal ECGs?
ICD therapy provides a good prognosis for patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation and normal ECGs, though arrhythmic recurrences remain frequent, especially in children.
Supports ICD consideration in IVF with normal ECGs despite recurrences; leaves open pediatric risk stratification and optimal long-term management.
Patients with IVF and persistently normal ECGs frequently have arrhythmic recurrences, but a good prognosis when treated with an ICD. Children are a category of IVF patients at higher risk of arrhythmic recurrences.
