Abstract
- Background: ICDs have been demonstrated to be highly effective in the primary prevention of sudden death, but inappropriate shocks (IS) occur frequently and represent one of the most important adverse effects of ICDs. The aim of this study was to analyze IS and identify the clinical predictors and prognostic implications of ISs in a real-world primary prevention ICD population. Methods: This multicenter retrospective study was performed in 13 centers with experience in the field of ICD implantation (at least 30 per year) and ICD follow-up in Spain. All consecutive patients who underwent ICD implantation for primary prevention between January 2008 and May 2014 were included. Results: One-thousand-sixteen patients were included, and 4 (0.39%) were lost to follow-up. Two-hundred-seventeen (21.4%) patients suffered from shock; 69 (6.8%) of these patients experienced IS, and 154 (15.4%) experienced appropriate shocks (AS). Age (
