May reduce ICD therapies and HF hospitalizations in non-ischaemic HF; hypothesis-generating, requires randomized confirmation.
Does a simplified CRT-D device with fixed long detection intervals reduce ICD interventions and HF hospitalizations in patients with non-ischaemic HF for primary prevention?
A simplified CRT-D device with fixed long detection intervals significantly reduces ICD therapy burden and heart failure hospitalizations in primary prevention non-ischaemic HF patients without increasing adverse events.
