摘要: BACKGROUNDSurvivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest not associated with acute myocardial infarction are at high risk for recurrent and sudden death. The impact the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator on long-term prognosis in these patients is uncertain.METHODS AND RESULTSThree hundred thirty-one survivors (age, 56 +/- 13.7 years) underwent electrophysiologically guided therapy. Implantable defibrillators were placed 150 (45.3%), 181 (54.7%) received pharmacological and/or surgical therapy alone. Left ventricular ejection fraction was 35.2 16.6% defibrillator recipients 45.3 18.2% nondefibrillator patients. Median patient follow-up 24 months group 46 group. In a proportional hazards model, independent predictors total mortality left less than 0.40 (relative risk, 4.55; 95% confidence inte...
