Dual-chamber pacing or ventricular backup pacing in patients with an implantable defibrillator: the Dual Chamber and VVI Implantable Defibrillator (DAVID) Trial.

Bruce L. Wilkoff, +98 more
- 25 Dec 2002 - 
TL;DR: For patients with standard indications for ICD therapy, no indication for cardiac pacing, and an LVEF of 40% or less, dual-chamber pacing offers no clinical advantage over ventricular backup pacing and may be detrimental by increasing the combined end point of death or hospitalization for heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Impact of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy on Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Heart Failure Patients: A Pilot Study

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of both CRT and CRT plus increased rate pacing in congestive heart failure (CHF) patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of β-Blocking Therapy on Outcome in the Multicenter UnSustained Tachycardia Trial (MUSTT)

TL;DR: Blocking agents have beneficial effects on survival of patients having characteristics of those enrolled in the MUSTT trial, and these effects do not appear to be due to a specific antiarrhythmic effect of &bgr;-blockers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimising the Use of β-Adrenoceptor Antagonists in Coronary Artery Disease

TL;DR: Beneficial properties of β-adrenoceptor antagonists may not always be extrapolated as a class effect, and patient selection and drug preparations should follow trial guidelines, however, they remain underutilised.
Journal ArticleDOI

Left ventricular ejection fraction for sudden death risk stratification and guiding implantable cardioverter-defibrillators implantation.

TL;DR: There is no evidence of any direct mechanistic link between low EF and mechanisms responsible for ventricular tachyarrhythmias, and although patients with EF >35% as a group are at lower risk for sudden death, these patients are not uniform with regard to other prognostic variables.
