BACKGROUND: Large-scale studies describing modern populations using an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) are lacking. We aimed to analyze the incidence of arrhythmia, device interventions, and mortality in a broad spectrum of real-world ICD patients with different heart disorders. METHODS AND RESULTS: The UMBRELLA study is a prospective, multicenter, nationwide study of contemporary patients using an ICD followed up by remote monitoring, with a blinded review of arrhythmic episodes. From November 2005 to November 2017, 4296 patients were followed up. After 46. 6±27. 3 months, 16 067 episodes of sustained ventricular arrhythmia occurred in 1344 patients (31. 3%). Appropriate ICD therapy occurred in 27. 3% of study population. Patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (hazard ratio [HR], 1. 51; 95% CI, 1. 29-1. 78), dilated cardiomyopathy (HR, 1. 28; 95% CI, 1. 07-1. 53), and valvular heart disease (HR, 1. 94; 95% CI, 1. 43-2. 62) exhibited a higher risk of appropriate ICD therapies, whereas patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HR, 0. 72; 95% CI, 0. 54-0. 96) and Brugada syndrome (HR, 0. 25; 95% CI, 0. 14-0. 45) showed a lower risk. All-cause death was 13. 4% at follow-up. Ischemic cardiomyopathy (HR, 3. 09; 95% CI, 2. 58-5. 90), dilated cardiomyopathy (HR, 3. 33; 95% CI, 2. 18-5. 10), and valvular heart disease (HR, 3. 97; 95% CI, 2. 25-6. 99) had the worst prognoses. Delayed high-rate detection was enabled in 39. 7% of patients, and single-zone programming occurred in 52. 6% of primary prevention patients. Both parameters correlated with lower risk of first appropriate ICD therapy, with no excess risk of mortality. The rate of inappropriate shocks at follow-up was low (6%) and did not differ among type of ICD but was lower in SmartShock-capable devices. CONCLUSIONS: Irrespective of the cause, contemporary ICD patients with heart failure-related disorders had a similar risk of ICD life-saving interventions and death. Current ICD programming recommendations still need to be implemented. |
