ICDs may warrant evaluation in high-risk patients; leaves open the need for randomized trials to confirm benefit and guide selection.
Do implanted automatic defibrillators prevent sudden arrhythmic death in high-risk patients?
This early editorial highlights the rationale and potential for implanted automatic defibrillators to prevent out-of-hospital sudden arrhythmic death.
M. Mirowski (1982) conducted an editorial in Ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Implanted Automatic Defibrillators was evaluated. This editorial discusses the use of implanted automatic defibrillators as a strategy to prevent sudden arrhythmic death from malignant ventricular rhythms outside of hospitals.
