Impact of a Chronic Total Coronary Occlusion on the Incidence of Appropriate Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator Shocks and Mortality: A Substudy of the Dutch Outcome in ICD Therapy (DO‐IT)) Registry

Impact of a Chronic Total Coronary Occlusion on the Incidence of Appropriate Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator Shocks and Mortality: A Substudy of the Dutch Outcome in ICD Therapy (DO‐IT)) Registry

Background Chronic total coronary occlusions (CTO) substantially increase the risk for sudden cardiac death. Among patients with chronic ischemic heart disease at risk for sudden cardiac death, an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is the favored therapy for primary prevention of sudden ca...
