- Abstract
Prospective randomized clinical trials show that implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) can reduce the risk of total mortality in select populations. However, data regarding patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are inconclusive. The aim of this study was to evaluate if ICDs affect total mortality in CKD patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death.
