New indications for implantable defibrillator therapy.
Current Cardiology Reports 2006 September
Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy has been extensively evaluated in patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death.

The results of this trial confirm those of earlier trials finding a benefit of ICD therapy in patients with coronary artery disease and reduced left ventricular systolic function, and extend the indications for ICD therapy to those without coronary artery disease.
