Expanding indications for implantable cardiac rhythm devices coupled with the aging of the
population have led to a progressive rise in the number of elderly patients referred for device …

Background There is conflicting evidence on the efficacy of primary prevention implantable
cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation in the elderly. Objective The purpose of this …

Background and aims Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators (ICDs) are frequently used to
prevent sudden cardiac death in patients with high‐risk arrhythmias. However, the use of …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe the recent conditions associated with
implantable defibrillation therapy for individual underlying heart diseases. Methods: Ten …

Introduction Life expectancy of less than 1 year is usually a contraindication for implantable
cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation. The aim was to identify patients at risk of death …

Objectives: This study sought to describe the use of CRT-D and its association with survival
for older patients. Background: Many patients who receive cardiac resynchronization …

Background The choice of cardiac resynchronization therapy device, with (CRT‐D) or
without (CRT‐P) a defibrillator, in patients with heart failure largely depends on the …

Background There are sparse data on the utilization rate of implantable cardioverter-
defibrillator (ICD) and its beneficial effects in Korean patients with heart failure with reduced …

Introduction Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators improve mortality in selected high risk
patients, yet population based data regarding utilization of these devices, particularly in the …

Background The effectiveness of implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) in the elderly is
uncertain, given their competing risk of nonarrhythmic death. Guidelines state that an ICD …
