2 GULF IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER- DEFIBRILLATOR STUDY (Gulf ICD)

4 What we know about ICDs in the Gulf 1. Hersi, A. Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Therapy: A single Center Experience in Saudi Arabia. Cardio Med J, 2010, 4, Daoulah A, Alsheikh-Ali AA, Ocheltree A, et. al. Outcome after Implantable Defibrillator in Patients with Brugada Syndrome: The Gulf Brugada Syndrome Registry. Journal of Electrocardiology (3): Alsheikh-Ali AA, Alkaabi S, Elhag O, et. al. The Implantable Cardioverter- Defibrillator in the United Arab Emirates: Preliminary Findings of a National Survey [Abstract]. Circulation (19): P Al Rawahi N, Al Kalbani A. Indications for Cardiac Devices Implantation in Oman [Abstract]. Circulation (19): P518.

5 Gulf ICD in a Nut Shell A prospective observational multi-center multi-national study of the characteristics and outcomes of patients receiving de novo implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) in the Arabian Gulf region. Original enrolment target = 1,000 patients; extended to 1,500. Data on baseline clinical characteristics, ICD programming parameters, inpatient outcomes, and clinical events such as mortality and ICD discharges over 1 year of follow-up will be collected. Enrolment complete, Follow-up on-going

6 Subject Selection Inclusion Criteria All adult patients 18 years or older, receiving a new ICD implant and willing to sign a consent form will be eligible. Exclusion Criteria Patients < 18 years and those not willing to sign a consent form. Subjects with existing ICDs undergoing pulse generator replacements or system revisions will not be included.

7 Sample Size Considerations We wanted to ensure adequate precision around two key outcomes: all-cause mortality and rate of appropriate ICD discharges at one year. To estimate an event rate of 10% at 1 year with a margin of error of 2% and 95% confidence intervals, a sample size of 829 patients is required. Since there is little guidance in the literature on such event rates among ICD recipients in the Gulf, and to compensate for losses to follow-up, we adjusted our sample size upwards to 1,000 patients. Such a sample size was considered logistically feasible given our experience with ICD implant rates in the Gulf.

8 Sample Size Considerations Sample size would allow for adequate precision (not more than 2% error margin with 95% confidence level) across a wide range of expected event rates

29 Adherence to Evidence-Based Criteria for the Implantation of primary Prevention ICD Recent diagnosis of heart failure (n=91, 75%) Recent MI (n=26, 21%), NYHA Class IV (n=17, 15%), Recent CABG (n=10, 8%).

30 Concussions Arabian Gulf patients receive ICD at younger age than western counterpart. Low rate of implantation of ICD per 1 M of the population
