benefits of ICDs without 
requiring patients to have a 
documented history of abnormal

Results 
 31% reduction in the risk of death at 
any interval among patients in the 
defibrillator group as compared with 
patients in the conventional-therapy group 
 The cumulative survival curves represent 
a decrease in death rates in the defibrillator 
group (95% confidence limits; P-value) of 
12% at 1 year (27 to 40%), 28% at 2 years (4 
to 46%), and 29% at 3 years (5 to 46%). 
Mortality over an average follow-up of 20 months 
• 34% relative reduction in the 
risk of death at any interval among 
patients with a defibrillator as 
compared with patients without an 
ICD 
• Number needed to treat (NNT) 
• 8 at 8 years 
• 17 at 2 years 
• Analysis showed sustained benefit 
with primary ICD therapy in the 
MADIT II study population

Indications for ICD Therapy 
Class I (Post MI) 
• ICD therapy is indicated in patients with previous 
MI and spontaneous sustained VT, whether 
hemodynamically stable or unstable 
(Level of Evidence: A) 
❖ Prior MI 
❖ Spontaneous sustained VT 
❖ Hemodynamically stable or unstable 
Indications for ICD Therapy 
Class I (Post MI) 
• ICD therapy is recommended for patients with prior 
MI who are at least 40 days post-MI, have an LVEF 
less than 35%, are NYHA functional class II or III. 
(Level of Evidence: A) 
❖ Prior MI, at least 40 days post MI 
❖ LVEF <35% 
❖ NYHA functional class II or III 
Indications for ICD Therapy 
Class I (Post MI) 
• ICD therapy is recommended for patients with 
prior MI who are at least 40 days post-MI, have an 
LVEF less than 30%, are NYHA functional class I 
(Level of Evidence: A) 
❖ Prior MI, at least 40 days post MI 
❖ LVEF <30% 
❖ NYHA functional class I 
Indications for ICD Therapy 
Class I (Post MI) 
• ICD therapy is indicated in patients with 
nonsustained VT due to prior MI, LVEF less than or 
equal to 40%, and inducible VF or sustained VT at 
electrophysiological study 
(Level of evidence B) 
❖ Prior MI, Non-sustained VT 
❖ LVEF <40% 
❖ Inducible VF or sustained VT on EP study 
Indications for ICD Therapy 
Class I (Post MI) 
• ICD therapy is indicated in patients with syncope of 
undetermined origin with clinically relevant, 
hemodynamically significant sustained VT or VF 
induced at electrophysiological study 
(Level of Evidence: B) 
❖ Prior MI, history of syncope 
❖ LVEF - Any EF 
❖ Hemodynamically unstable VT on EP study 
What Changes Could Be Done? 
• More inclusions by identifying clinical situations 
which cause SCD risk 
❖ Less than 40 day Post MI patients with low EF 
• Less liberal guidelines by better risk stratification 
❖ Primary prevention population (some may not be 
benefitting) 
Case 
• 54 year male presents with acute anterior MI 
• Has sustained VT at 36 hours, DC shock given 
• Revascularization NOT done/possible/available 
• LVEF 25% 
Secondary Prevention: CAD—VF or Hemodynamically 
Unstable VT Associated With Acute (<48 h) MI 
Single or Recurrent VF or 
Polymorphic VT With Acute 
(<48 Hours) MI 
Total 
revascularization 
completed 
No revascularization 
indicated 
Not amenable to 
revascularization 
Primary Prevention: 
Post-Acute MI (<40 Days), LVEF <40% 
ICD For Primary Prevention 
• Huge cost to society in view of large number of patients 
• Difficult to implement in emerging economies 
• Wrong to withhold a guideline directed therapy 
• Need to further stratify the primary prevention group to 
identify patients for 
❖ Highest benefit of ICD 
❖ Intermediate benefit of ICD 
❖ Less or no benefit of ICD 
IMPROVE-SCA STUDY 
❖ 4800 patients 100 centres global study 
❖ Prior MI, at least 40 days post MI 
❖ LVEF <35% 
❖ NYHA functional class II or III 
Presyncope/ 
Syncope 
Freq VEBs NSVT EF<25% 
Sudden Cardiac Death 
Risk Factors 
• Left Ventricular Dysfunction 
• Ventricular Ectopic Activity, NSVT 
• Wide QRS Complex 
• Reduced HR Variability 
• Positive late potentials 
• Inducible VT on EP Study 
• T wave alternance 
• Heart Rate turbulence & Baroreflex Sensitivity

Conclusions 
• Post MI ICD implantation is a standard therapy in 
selected patients with increased risk of SCD 
• There is a need to redefine the indications to 
include certain clinical situations 
• There is need to further stratify primary prevention 
population according to SCD risk
