Likelihood of prophylactic ICD benefit (risk of VT/VF weighed against the risk of non-arrhythmic mortality)
The MADIT-ICD benefit score is proposed as a novel tool to personalize the assessment of prophylactic ICD benefit by weighing VT/VF risk against non-arrhythmic mortality.
Abstract
We propose the novel MADIT-ICD benefit score that predicts the likelihood of prophylactic ICD benefit through personalized assessment of the risk of VT/VF weighed against the risk of non-arrhythmic mortality.
