“…We found that the cost of individual syncope/collapse‐related hospitalizations has increased significantly between 2004 and 2013, even after adjusting for the inflation rates. This could be secondary to (1) an increase in the use of diagnostic testing, and/or (2) an increase in the cost of such testing, or (3) an increase in the cost of care related to the higher comorbidity burden . Patients with pre‐existing cardiac disease, in whom syncope/collapse could be particularly concerning, may require expensive diagnostic tests in the hospital.…”

“…After twenty months follow-up patients with atrial fibrillation had higher cumulative frequency of hospitalizations and mortality compared with patients in sinus rhythm, noting that the presence of atrial fibrillation was not in itself an independent predictor of increased mortality, but affected more frequent hospitalizations. Sub-analysis of the MADIT II study (13) identified risk factors which reduced the benefit of ICD in reducing SCD such as: advanced age (over 70 years of age), severe heart failure, presence of chronic renal failure, presence of atrial fibrillation and wider QRS complexes. In our trial risk profile did not differ significantly between patient groups (exept higher serum concentration of NT-proBNP in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation), which may explain the equally two-year survival in all patient groups.…”

“…In their study, Iwona et al [17] accepted all-cause mortality as an endpoint in a population similar to that of MADIT study, and they showed that in addition to MADIT-ICD scores, some clinical parameters were also significant in predicting long-term mortality in a group of patients who were implanted with ICD for primary prevention purpose. Recently, Naksuk et al [18] stated that in a more limited population that was similar to that of MADIT, MADIT scores were useful in predicting all-cause mortality; however, they suggested that this scoring did not have a predictive value for appropriate shock. Similarly, we also found that there was no association between appropriate shock and MADIT-ICD scores.…”
