638 Outcomes of primary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) recipients with vs without clinical trial entry criteria: Observations from a comprehensive provincial ICD registry

Abstract

There is increasing interest in the degree to which primary prevention ICDs conform to evidence. We examined the frequency of ICD implants that did not meet MADIT2 or SCD-HeFT inclusion/exclusion criteria in a population-based single-payer health system, and the frequency of appropriate defibrillator therapies in patients who were implanted with an ICD but did not meet clinical trial criteria.
