TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied whether prophylactic therapy with an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator, as compared with conventional medical therapy, would improve survival in this high-risk group of patients.

A comparison of antiarrhythmic-drug therapy with implantable defibrillators in patients resuscitated from near-fatal ventricular arrhythmias
TL;DR: Among survivors of ventricular fibrillation or sustained ventricular tachycardia causing severe symptoms, the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator is superior to antiarrhythmic drugs for increasing overall survival.

Survival after the onset of congestive heart failure in Framingham Heart Study subjects.
TL;DR: Advances in the treatment of hypertension, myocardial ischemia, and valvular heart disease during the four decades of observation did not translate into appreciable improvements in overall survival after the onset of CHF in this large, unselected population.

Electrical Alternans and Vulnerability to Ventricular Arrhythmias
David S. Rosenbaum,Lance Jackson,Joseph M. Smith,Hasan Garan,Jeremy N. Ruskin,Richard J. Cohen +5 more
TL;DR: Electrical alternans affecting the ST segment and T wave is common among patients at increased risk for ventricular arrhythmias and may serve as a noninvasive marker of vulnerability to arrhythmia.

T wave alternans as a predictor of recurrent ventricular tachyarrhythmias in ICD recipients: prospective comparison with conventional risk markers
Stefan H. Hohnloser,Thomas Klingenheben,Yi-Gang Li,Markus Zabel,Joy A. Peetermans,Richard J. Cohen +5 more
TL;DR: A high‐risk population, recipients of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), is identified, and microvolt TWA is compared with invasive EP testing and other risk markers with respect to their ability to predict recurrence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias as documented by ICD electrograms.
