Improve Sudden Cardiac Arrest Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating ICD or CRT-D Device for Sudden Cardiac Arrest and Ventricular Arrythmia. Completed, enrolled 4,222 participants across 93 sites in 16 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that primary prevention patients with one or more additional risk factors (1.5 prevention criteria: syncope/pre-syncope, non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT), frequent pre-ventricular contractions (PVCs), and low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)) are at a similar risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (LTVA) when compared to secondary prevention patients, and would receive similar benefit from an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), or cardiac resynchronization therapy- defibrillator (CRT-D) implant.

Interventions
Subjects who receive an ICD/CRT-D device implant will be implanted and follow protocol-specified programming. The programming is not investigational. Consistent programming is desirable in order to compare groups during statistical analysis.
