Why ICDs are less effective in Non Ischemic DCM ?

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

In myocardial pathology, the genesis and sustainability of ventricular arrhythmia are intricately related to the degree of LV dysfunction of any cause. Tackling SCD was in God’s domain, until the brilliance of Dr. Michel Mirowski shrunk the defibrillator and implanted it under the chest in 1980. (Dr. N Engl J Med. N Engl J Med.
