Abstract
|
|
|
|
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a syndrome characterized by left or biventricular dilatation and impaired systolic function. ICD (implantable cardioverter defibrillator) is superior to anti-arrhythmic drugs in secondary prevention of overall death and SCD in the general HF population. Similar results were also shown in primary prevention in ischemic DCM. We experienced 50 years old man presented as non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy with ventricular tachycardia. ICD was inserted as secondary prevention. But in spite of ICD insertion, patient has developed aggravation of heart failure during 2 years of follow up.
