Life expectancy gains and cost-effectiveness of implantable cardioverter/defibrillators for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
CRD summary The study examined the cost-effectiveness of using implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) insertion or amiodarone therapy for the prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), with no history of cardiac arrest but a significant risk of SCD. The study results support the cost-effectiveness of ICD insertion from the perspective of t...

متن کاملThe Cost Effectiveness of Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators
OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the cost implications of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), using utilization, cost, and survival data from the Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial (MADIT)-II. BACKGROUND This trial showed that prophylactic implantation of a defibrillator reduces the rate of mortality in patients who experienced a previous myocardial infarction ...
متن کاملCardiac imaging in syndrome X: the problem of "reverse redistribution'.
patient with cardiac arrest, as initial presentation of the underlying cardiac disease, who receives an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, cost cannot be evaluated, unless the first line therapeutic option for these patients is not an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. Another approach could be to randomize these patients to an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator or to other forms ...
متن کاملPrimary prevention of sudden cardiac death using implantable cardioverter defibrillators.
Despite substantial advances in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a leading cause of death in industrialized countries. Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) has been demonstrated to be an attractive option for primary prevention of SCD in high-risk patients. This review discusses the progress in the risk stratification for selecting ...
