Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators in Patients with CKD: A Propensity-Matched Mortality Analysis
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Benefits of transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in prevention of sudden cardiac death among the general population are proven. However, the benefit of ICDs remains unclear in CKD. A propensity-matched analysis was conducted to examine the survival benefits of ICDs placed for primary prevention in those with CKD not on dialysis (eGFR<60 ml/min per 1.73 m(2)).
