Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in Octogenarians: Clinical Outcomes From a Single Center
Aims: Limited data exist on outcomes in very elderly ICD recipients. We describe outcomes in new ICD and Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy with Defibrillator (CRT-D) implants in octogenarians at our institution. Methods: Patients aged 80 years and above who underwent de novo ICD or CRT-D implantatio...
