NCT ID NCT07084142
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to create a digital decision-making aid for older adults with heart failure who are considering getting an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). The tool will help patients weigh the benefits of preventing sudden cardiac death against the downsides of the device. Researchers will gather input from 600 participants through surveys and interviews to refine the tool, which will later be tested in a clinical trial.
