Abstract
In this large cohort of “daily” patients, the 2-year incidence of SCD (1.4%) was comparable with the event rate observed in randomized controlled trials; HF remained the predominant mode of death. An EF <30% at implantation appears to be the most important predictor of ICD-unresponsive SCD.
