Heart device dilemma: is surgery necessary for seniors?

NCT ID NCT05373940

Summary

This study aims to find out if heart failure medication alone is just as good as medication plus an implanted defibrillator for preventing sudden cardiac death in people aged 70 and older. It will enroll 730 patients in France and follow them for four years to compare survival rates and quality of life. The goal is to see if avoiding the implant surgery and its potential complications is a safe option for this age group.
