- Abstract
The article explores on the efficacy and safety of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in reducing sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). It examines the medical protocols of symptomatic heart failure (HF). It also cites the assessment of ventricular fibrosis in the emergence of arrhythmogenic triggers in DCM patients.
