  Purpose

The MADIT-II trial has shown that patients with severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) post myocardial infarction benefit from the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). However, retrospective analyses of the MADIT-II data have revealed a significantly increased morbidity and mortality in patients with appropriate ICD therapy: Appropriate ICD therapy is associated with 3.3-fold increased all-cause mortality, and the risk of a first heart failure hospitalization is 90% higher after 1st appropriate ICD therapy. Hence, the 1st appropriate therapy might indicate the necessity and utility of further clinical diagnostics and therapy in these patients.

This trial is designed to (i) improve the knowledge of the group characteristics of patients suffering from 1st appropriate ICD therapy, (ii) but moreover to take additional therapeutic steps to reduce the mortality of this patient population.

Standard follow-up in patients without appropriate ICD therapy
 Other: Standard follow-up
Standard follow-up in patients without appropriate ICD therapy
Other Name: Standard follow-up
Experimental: 1
Following 1st appropriate ICD therapy, the patients have to be called to the clinic for intensified clinical diagnostics and, if necessary or useful, intensified therapy.
 Other: Intensified diagnostic and treatment measures following 1st appropriate ICD therapy
  • Assessment of general health status (weight, BP, NYHA)
  • Laboratory tests (hemoglobin, Nt-proBNP, creatinine, GDF-15)
  • Echocardiography (LVEF, LVEDD, mitral regurgitation)
  • Non-invasive ischemia evaluation
  • Coronary angiography (if indicated by ischemia evaluation)
  • Upgrade to CRT, if indicated
  • Ventricular ablation (if indicated: VT storm, slow VT, bundle branch reentry)
  • 24 hrs ECG Holter (Heart rate variability)
  • Further treatment (if applicable)
  • Changes in ICD settings, or medication
Other Name: Intensified diagnostic and treatment measures

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Indication for ICD implantation according to MADIT-II:

    • Myocardial infarction 30 days or more before implantation

  • Advanced cerebrovascular disease
  • Life expectancy very probably below 12 months
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding women
  • Age < 18 years
  • Patients who are already enrolled in another study (therapy/intervention phase)
