The effect of revascularization on mortality and risk of ventricular arrhythmia in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy

Abstract Background There is clear evidence that patients with prior myocardial infarction and a reduced ejection fraction benefit from implantation of a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). It is unclear whether this benefit is altered by whether or not revascularization is performed prior to ICD impl...
