MADIT I: ICDs Prevent Death in Ischemic LVSD Enrollment criteria: • NYHA functional class I-III • Prior myocardial infarction • LVEF <0.35 • Documented asymptomatic non-sustained VT • Inducible, non-suppressible ventricular tachyarrhythmia on EP study (on procainamide) Results: • 54% relative reduction (23% absolute reduction) in the risk of death from all causes.

Current Indications for ICDs • “Secondary prevention” for patients who have been successfully resuscitated from SCD • “Primary Prevention” for patients without a history of SCD but at high risk, including some patients with: • Severe left ventricular dysfunction (LVSD) • Long QT syndrome • Arrhythmogenic RV dysplasia • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
