Background: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) implanted after an episode of ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VTA) or in patients at high risk of VTA lower the long-term mortality. Comparisons of the clinical outcomes of the two indications are scarce.
Methods: The study enrolled 360 consecutive ICD recipients. The device was implanted for secondary prevention in 150 patients, whose mean age was 60 ± 14 years, and mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 40 ± 16%, and for primary prevention in 210 patients, whose mean age was 61 ± 11 years, and mean LVEF was 31 ± 13%. All-cause mortality and time to first appropriate ICD therapy were measured.
Results: The two study groups were similar with respect to age and prevalence of coronary artery disease. Mean LVEF was higher in the secondary prevention group (P = 0.001). Cox regression analysis revealed a significantly shorter time to first appropriate ICD therapy in the secondary prevention group (HR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.30 – 0.87, P = 0.01). Over a mean follow-up of 37 ± 19 months, the all-cause mortality in the overall population was 12.7%, and was similar in both subgroups (HR = 0.99, 95% CI = 0.55–1.77, P = 0.97).
Conclusions: The long-term mortality in this unselected population of ICD recipients was low. Patients treated for secondary prevention received earlier appropriate ICD therapy than patients treated for primary prevention. Long-term mortality was similar in both groups. The higher VT incidence of VTA was effectively treated by the ICD and was not associated with a higher mortality. 相似文献

Background: We sought to assess predictors of appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy in patients receiving primary prevention ICDs. Methods: Four hundred twenty‐one consecutive patients (ischemic and nonischemic) undergoing primary prevention ICD implantation were studied. Patients were grouped based on the presence/absence of appropriate ICD therapy. Summary data and stored electrograms from ICDs were reviewed to determine appropriateness of therapy. Predictors of therapy were assessed by both univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Results: Of 421 primary prevention patients undergoing ICD implantation, 79 (19%) had received appropriate ICD therapies. By univariate comparison, nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT), male sex, left ventricle diastolic diameter (LVDD), and hypertension were all significant predictors for ICD therapy over a mean follow‐up time of 751 ± 493 days (P ≤ 0.05). The use ofβ‐blockers was found to be a negative predictor. In the ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) population, 55 (17%) patients received ICD therapy and this was predicted by NSVT, hypertension, LVDD, and left atrial diameter.β‐blockers were protective. In the nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) population, 24 (23%) received appropriate therapies, which were predicted by NSVT, male sex, dual chamber device, lack of biventricular device, and lack ofβ‐blockers. By multivariate analysis, NSVT, hypertension, and lack ofβ‐blockers were significant for ICM, while NSVT and absence ofβ‐blockers were predictive for NIDCM. Ejection fraction, New York Heart Association class, and QRS width were not significantly different between therapy and no‐therapy groups in any population. Conclusions: ICD‐delivered therapy occurred in 19% of primary prevention patients with both ischemic and dilated cardiomyopathy and was predicted by NSVT and a lack ofβ‐blocker use.

Background: To evaluate the role of nonsustained ventricular tachycardias (NSVT) for the prediction of major ventricular arrhythmias (MVA) in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) after optimization of medical treatment.
Methods and Results: Three hundred nineteen consecutive DCM patients were evaluated after adequate stabilization on optimal angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (88%) and β-blocker (82%) therapy. Frequency, length, and rate of NSVT at 24-hour Holter monitoring were analyzed to assess their values in predicting MVA (unexpected sudden death, SVT, ventricular fibrillation, and appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator interventions). During follow-up (median 96 months, 1st –3rd interquartile range 52–130), MVA incidence was low, and not statistically different between patients with and without NSVT (3 and 2 per 100 patient-years, respectively, P = nonsignificant [NS] at log-rank analysis). At multivariable analysis, the number of NSVT was predictive of MVA only if left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was >0.35 (two NSVT/day vs no NSVT/day: hazard ratio [HR] 5.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.59–17.85 in LVEF >0.35 vs HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.3–2.81 in LVEF ≤0.35). Consequently, in patients with LVEF ≤0.35, MVA incidence rates were similar regardless of NSVT (3.6 and 4.1 patient-years, respectively, in those with and without NSVT, P = NS), while in patients with LVEF >0.35, MVA incidence (3.1 per 100 patient-years vs 0.9 per 100 patient-years, P = 0.003) was significantly higher when NSVT were present.
Conclusions: After medical stabilization, NSVT did not increase the risk of MVA in patients with DCM and LVEF ≤0.35. Conversely, the number and length of NSVT runs were significantly related to the occurrence of MVA in the patients with LVEF >0.35. 相似文献

Introduction: Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) significantly reduce mortality in patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. However, little is known of the predictors of appropriate device activation in the primary prevention population. The aim of the present study was to determine predictors of appropriate device therapy in patients receiving ICDs for primary prevention. Methods & Results: One hundred twenty‐six patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of < 35% and no prior documented ventricular arrhythmias underwent ICD implantation. The ICD implanted was single chamber in 60 (48%), dual chamber in 10 (8%), and biventricular in 56 (44%) patients and programmed with a single ventricular fibrillation (VF) zone at >180 beats per minute. Mean age was 58 ± 13 years and mean LVEF was 23 ± 7%. Fifty‐two percent had ischemic cardiomyopathy and 66% were New York Heart Association heart failure class II/III. During a mean follow‐up period of 589 ± 353 days, 17 (13%) patients received appropriate device therapy and three (4%) received inappropriate shocks. Appropriate ICD therapy was associated with reduced LVEF (mean 19.9% vs 23.7%, P = 0.02) and the patients were less likely to have received angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (AIIRB) (65% vs 90%, P = 0.04). Multivariate analysis revealed lack of ACEI/AIIRB (odds ratio [OR]= 0.06, 95% confidence interval [CI]= 0.01–0.37, P = <0.01) and lower LVEF (OR = 0.88, 95% CI 0.79–0.98, P = 0.02) predicted appropriate device activation. There was no difference in transplant‐free survival between the appropriate therapy and no/inappropriate therapy groups, LVEF <20% and LVEF >20% group, and lack of ACEI/AIIRB and ACEI/AIIRB group. Conclusion: Appropriate device activation occurred in 13% of patients in a primary prevention population. LVEF and absence of ACEI/AIIRB predicted appropriate ICD therapy.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) may have a ventricular proarrhythmic effect, particularly in the setting of heart failure. We assessed whether AF predicts appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and explored modulators of risk.
Methods and Results: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 215 consecutive patients with ICDs for primary prevention having a left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 35%. Mean age at ICD implantation was 61.0 ± 9.7 years and 17% were women. Overall, 22 patients (10.2%) experienced appropriate ICD shocks over a follow-up of 1.3 ± 0.7 years, corresponding to an actuarial event-rate of 5.8% per year. In univariate analysis, AF was associated with a 3.6-fold increased risk of appropriate shocks (P = 0.0037). Annual rates of appropriate ICD shocks in patients with and without AF were 12.9% and 3.5%, respectively (P = 0.0200). In multivariate stepwise Cox regression analyses controlling for baseline imbalances, demographic parameters, underlying heart disease, and therapy, history of AF independently predicted appropriate shocks (hazard ratio 2.7, P = 0.0278). Prolonged QRS duration (>130 ms) and QTc (>440 ms) modulated the effect of AF on appropriate shocks. Patients with both AF and QRS > 130 ms were more than five times more likely to receive an appropriate ICD shock (hazard ratio 5.4, P = 0.0396). Patients with AF and QTc > 440 ms experienced a greater than 12-fold increased risk of appropriate shocks (hazard ratio 12.7, P = 0.0177).
Conclusion: In prophylactic ICD recipients with left ventricular dysfunction, AF is associated with increased risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias, particularly when combined with conduction and/or repolarization abnormalities. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) who have monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) induced by programmed ventricular stimulation (PVS) are at increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Among a primary prevention population, the prognostic significance of induced polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias is unknown. METHODS: A total of 105 consecutive patients who received an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) for primary prevention of SCD in the setting of ICM and non-sustained VT were retrospectively evaluated. Seventy-five patients (group I) had induction of monomorphic VT and 30 patients (group II) had a sustained ventricular arrhythmia other than monomorphic VT (ventricular flutter, ventricular fibrillation, and polymorphic VT) induced during PVS. RESULTS: Baseline characteristics were similar between group I and group II except for ejection fraction (25% vs. 31%, P = 0.0001) and QRS duration (123 milliseconds vs. 109 milliseconds, P = 0.04). Sixteen of 75 (21.3%) patients in group I and 6 of 30 (20%) patients in group II received appropriate ICD therapy (P = 0.88). Survival free from ICD therapy was similar between groups (P = 0.54). There was a trend toward increased all-cause mortality among patients in group I by Kaplan-Meier analysis (P = 0.08). However, when adjusted for age, EF, and QRS duration mortality was similar (P = 0.45). CONCLUSIONS: There is no difference in rates of appropriate ICD discharge or mortality between patients dichotomized by type of rhythm induced during PVS. These results suggest that patients in this population who have inducible VF or sustained polymorphic VT have similar rates of subsequent clinical ventricular tachyarrhythmias as those with inducible monomorphic VT. 相似文献

Primary prevention trials have demonstrated that patients with coronary disease, reduced left ventricular function, and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) have improved survival with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy, presumably secondary to effective termination of life-threatening arrhythmias. However, stored intracardiac electrograms were not always available and specific arrhythmias leading to ICD therapy were not always known. We examined the occurrence of ICD events in 51 consecutive patients who match the described patient profile to determine the frequency of appropriate and inappropriate ICD therapy. ICD detections were noted in 18 (35%) patients during a median follow-up period of 13.1 months. Appropriate therapy for sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT)/ventricular fibrillation (VF) occurred in 11 (22%) patients, with appropriate shocks in 8 (16%) patients and appropriate antitachycardia pacing (ATP) in 4 (8%) patients. The time to first appropriate therapy occurred at a mean of 17 +/- 12 months (median 18 months, range 3-36 months). Inappropriate therapy occurred in 5 (10%) patients with inappropriate shocks in 4 patients and inappropriate ATP in 2 patients. Inappropriate therapy was delivered for supraventricular arrhythmias (SVAs) in 4 patients and for T wave oversensing in 1 patient. The reason for shock therapy was unknown in 1 patient (2%) due to ICD malfunction. The mean arrhythmia rate leading to appropriate therapy for VT/VF was 232 +/- 72 beats/min (range 181-400 beats/min), and the mean rate leading to inappropriate therapy for SVT was 168 +/- 10 beats/min (range 160-180 beats/min). Patients with coronary disease and asymptomatic NSVT commonly receive appropriate defibrillator therapy. These results support the need for ICD implantation for primary prevention, with attention to careful programming of the detection rate to prevent inappropriate therapy. 相似文献

In the MADIT study, a selected group of postinfarction patients with asymptomatic nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) has been shown to benefit from prophylactic ICD treatment. The present study analyzed the variability of NSVT in a patient population fulfilling the non-invasive MADIT criteria. Three consecutive Holter ECGs were performed in weekly intervals in 68 postinfarction patients with an LVEF < or = 0.35. Patients with NSVT underwent programmed ventricular stimulation (PVS); patients were implanted with an ICD if sustained VT or VF was inducible. If NSVT was found in at least two recordings, the arrhythmia was defined as reproducible. In 28 (41%) of the 68 patients, NSVT was found in at least one recording. Seventeen patients revealed NSVT in the first, the remaining 11 in the second registration; no patient had NSVT only in the third Holter. Of the patients with NSVT, 50% had only one, 39% had two, and 11% had three positive recordings. Thus, reproducible NSVT was found in only 50% of the patients with NSVT. Predictors for reproducibility were LVEF > 0.27, NYHA Class I, absence of digitalis therapy, and > 2 NSVT per 24-hour period. Reproducible NSVT was not associated with risk factors such as elevated mean heart rate, reduced heart rate variability, late potentials, or inducibility of sustained VT during PVS. During 17 +/- 9 months of follow-up, seven (10%) patients experienced arrhythmic events: two without and five with previously documented NSVT. In the latter patients, first occurrence of NSVT was consistently in the first Holter; only two of them had reproducible NSVT. In postinfarction patients, the risk factor NSVT exhibits marked spontaneous variability, especially in those with a low number of NSVT per 24-hour period, LVEF < 0.27 or NYHA III, which limits its clinical value as a selection criterion for PVS. Reproducibility of NSVT itself does not seem to be an independent risk factor. 相似文献

Background: Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators (ICDs) reduce the rate of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with cardiomyopathy and reduced left ventricular systolic function. It is unclear if this benefit extends to the very elderly patient population. Methods: Patients who underwent initial ICD implantation at age 80 or older between January 1995 and April 2010 for primary SCD prevention were identified. Clinical data were collected from the medical record, including periprocedural complications, device type, and therapies delivered. Results: Three‐hundred eighty patients were identified; 84 patients met eligibility criteria. The mean age was 82.68 years; mean follow‐up was 34 months. Mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 28.1%. Mortality during follow‐up was 17.9%. One‐ and 5‐year survival estimates were 100% and 60%, respectively. Periprocedural complications occurred in 9.4% of patients; serious complications occurred in 4.8% with no periprocedural deaths. Device therapies occurred in 11.9% (n = 10) of patients (9.5% appropriate, n = 8; 2.4% inappropriate, n = 2). Cardiac resynchronization therapy‐defibrillator (CRT‐D) implantation was associated with prolonged median survival and decreased risk of death (hazard ratio 0.212; 95% confidence interval 0.048?.942, P = 0.042) compared to ICD alone. Conclusions: Implantation of primary prevention ICDs in patients 80 years of age or older was associated with a low risk of serious complications and a 5‐year survival estimate of 60%. Inappropriate therapies after implantation were uncommon. CRT‐D implantation was associated with a decreased risk of death compared to ICD alone. These data suggest that, in selected patients in this age group, ICD implantation is safe and effective. (PACE 2011; 34:900–906) 相似文献

The time to first ICD shock has been extensively studied in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, there are no published data on ICD shocks in patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy (ChC). The occurrence of the first appropriate ICD shock during the first 6 months of follow-up in 20 patients with ChC (group 1) and 35 CAD patients (group 2) was analyzed retrospectively. All patients had received a third-generation pectoral ICD for ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (VT/VF). Indications for ICD implantation were refractoriness to drug therapy or noninducibility of VT/VF at EPS in cardiac arrest survivors. Results: The mean age, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and sex in groups I and II were 57.4 ± 7 years versus 64 ± 9 (P < 0.01), 30.9%± 10% versus 32.9%± 10% (P = NS), and 10 men versus 31 women (P < 0.005), respectively. Six months after ICD implantation, 85% (17/20) group I patients received appropriate ICD shocks versus 51 % (18/35) in group 2, a statistically significant difference (P < 0.02, RR: 1.65, OR: 5.35). Conclusions: The incidence of appropriate ICD shocks within the first 6 months postimplantation was significantly higher in ChC patients than in CAD patients. ChC patients were younger and more often women than CAD patients. 相似文献
