Background
Primary and secondary prevention of high risk patients with implantable cardioverter defibrilator (ICD) have been reasonable. Long term incidance of cardiovascular (CV) death is reduced by ICD. However, in some populations ICD was assosiated with adverse CV outcomes. It was proposed that MADIT ICD score was useful in prediction of adverse CV outcomes. So far there is no study to test MADIT ICD score. In this study we aim to test relation of MADIT ICD score with CV outcomes.
Methods
We enrolled 146 patients with ICD. We calculated MADIT-ICD score (BUN>26 mg/dl, functional capacity >2, Atrial fibrilation, age >70 and QRS >120 msn). MADIT ICD score was seperated three groups (low, intermediate and high). All cause death, need to replacement and frequency of ICD therapy and composite of those (MACE) were recorded.
