Article Synopsis
- Current guidelines recommend implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) for all patients with symptomatic heart failure and low left ventricular ejection fraction, but many may not benefit from them.
- The study evaluated the feasibility of using the MADIT-II-based Risk Stratification Score (MRSS) to differentiate patients and gauge their likely survival benefits from ICDs.
- Results indicated that among 2,177 patients, different MRSS risk groups had varying survival benefits from ICDs, suggesting that this score can help identify who might actually benefit from prophylactic ICD implantation.
