Why the study?

Does right ventricular dysfunction predict combined ICD therapy or death in patients receiving an ICD for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death?

Structured PICO

Does right ventricular dysfunction predict combined ICD therapy or death in patients receiving an ICD for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death?

Population

222 patients receiving an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death, with mean left ventricular ejection fraction 0.23 ± 0.07.

Intervention

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction (qualitatively assessed as abnormal, including mildly, moderately, or severely reduced)

Comparator

Normal right ventricular function

Outcome

Combined ICD therapy or deathcomposite

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Severe right ventricular dysfunction is an independent predictor of combined ICD therapy or death in patients receiving an ICD for primary prevention.
