Effect of Cardiac Rehabilitation in Preventing Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Therapy in Patients with Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction
Abstract:: In patients with implantable cardioverter de brillators ICD or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators CRT-D , appropriate and inappropriate shocks lead to a higher risk of mortality. Cardiac rehabilitation CR is an established therapy for patients with ischemic heart disease and / or congestive heart failure. However, it is unclear whether CR could reduce the need for device therapies. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether CR reduces device therapies and mortality in patients … Show more
