Abstract
Implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICD's) with or without cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), improves survival in the heart failure population. Patients who have received ICD's, may subsequently meet criteria suggesting benefit from upgrading to a CRT device. Upgrading can be technically difficult; have associated morbidity and cost implications. The purpose of this study was to determine if there are any baseline clinical variables in patients who have ICD's which may predict subsequent upgrading to CRT.
