  • Effect of risk stratification on cost-effectiveness of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator.

    Owens DK, Sanders GD, Heidenreich PA, McDonald KM, Hlatky MA. Am Heart J. 2002; 144 (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.
