Effect of risk stratification on cost-effectiveness of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
Am Heart J. 2002; (3): 440-8
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) effectively prevent sudden cardiac death, but selection of appropriate patients for implantation is complex. We evaluated whether risk stratification based on risk of sudden cardiac death alone was sufficient to predict the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the ICD.
