Comparison of Inappropriate Shocks and Other Health Outcomes Between Single‐ and Dual‐Chamber Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillators for Primary Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death: Results From the Cardiovascular Research Network Longitudinal Study of Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillators

Comparison of Inappropriate Shocks and Other Health Outcomes Between Single‐ and Dual‐Chamber Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillators for Primary Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death: Results From the Cardiovascular Research Network Longitudinal Study of Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillators

BackgroundIn US clinical practice, many patients who undergo placement of an implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death receive dual‐chamber devices. The superiority of dual‐chamber over single‐chamber devices in reducing the risk of inappropriate ICD...
