12 Recommendations - Chronic Heart Failure Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) Recommend for history of hemodynamically significant or sustained ventricular arrhythmia (secondary prevention). Consider for primary prevention: i. Ischemic LVD, NYHA II-III, EF 35%, measured > 1 m post MI, & > 3 m post revascularization ; ii. Ischemic LVD, NYHA class I, & EF 30% > 1 m post MI, & < 3 m post revascularization ; iii. Nonischemic LVD, NYHA class II-III, EF 35%, measured > 9 m after optimal medical therapy. For ALL: Strong Recommendation High Quality Evidence

13 Primary Prevention ICD Therapy Use Is: 1. Too High 2. About Right 3. To Low

15 Regarding My Enthusiasm for Primary Prevention ICD Therapy: 1. I am keen 2. I am not keen due to the risk of shocks 3. I am not keen due to an inability to predict who will benefit 4. I am not keen due to the risk of long-term complications (leads, redo procedures) 5. I am not keen due to poor accessibility

18 Based on data from SCD-HeFT, over the initial 5 years, patients receiving a primary prevention ICD should expect? 1. 10% risk of shocks; 95% for VT/VF 2. 25% risk of shocks; 80% for VT/VF 3. 33% risk of shocks; 65% for VT/VF 4. 50% risk of shocks; 50% for VT/VF
