Population

92 patients who received an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in Taiwan across 12 hospitals, mean age 59 +/- 16 years, 84% male.

Intervention

Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) implantation

Comparator

Historical Western ICD trial populations (CIDS, AVID, and CASH trials)

Outcome

Clinical features, survival, and appropriate ICD discharges

ICD recipients in Taiwan exhibit distinct clinical characteristics, including higher LVEF and lower rates of ischemic heart disease, compared to traditional Western cohorts.
