Heart study asks: do ICDs help Low-Risk patients?
NCT ID NCT06543446
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether implantable defibrillators (ICDs) help people with heart failure and a lower risk of deadly heart rhythms live longer compared to not having an ICD. It involved over 3,000 adults with weak heart pumps. The goal was to see if the benefits of ICDs still hold in today's better-treated heart failure patients.
