Abstract
The mortality and incidence of appropriate ICD therapy were 20% and 37%, respectively, at 3 years in Japanese patients who met the MADIT II criteria during ICD implantation for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death. The presence of NSVT and dilated left ventricle independently predicted the incidence of appropriate ICD therapy after implantation.
