Overview
Implantable cardiac defibrillators are recommended in high-risk patients 1.e, patients with dilated cardiomyopathy for the primary prevention of pulseless ventricular tachycardia.
Primary Prevention
- Implantable cardiac defibrillators are recommended in high-risk patients 1.e, patients with dilated cardiomyopathy for the primary prevention of pulseless ventricular tachycardia.[1]
- Implantable cardiac defibrillators have shown to significantly decrease mortality rates when compared to medical treatment for the prevention of sudden cardiac death.[2]
