Abstract
Median survival in octogenarian ICD recipients is greater than 4 years. In addition to baseline EF, eGFR is a strong predictor of mortality in elderly ICD candidates. These easily identifiable clinical variables may assist clinical decision making and help to provide appropriate post-ICD implant survival expectations in this elderly patient group.
