Key result
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have demonstrated lifesaving efficacy and superiority over conventional medical management for patients at high risk of sudden arrhythmic death.

Since the lifesaving efficacy of ICDs is already established, future studies must reexamine their objectives, such as better determining patient risk.

Nisam et al. (1998) conducted an editorial in high risk of sudden arrhythmic death. Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) vs. conventional medical management was evaluated. Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have demonstrated lifesaving efficacy and superiority over conventional medical management for patients at high risk of sudden arrhythmic death.
