Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Therapies Following Generator Replacements-Long-Term Remote Monitoring Data.

ABSTRACT: Background: The rate of long-term outcomes, including arrhythmic episodes following implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) device replacements, is often unknown. Thus, the aim of this manuscript was to evaluate the risk of ICD or cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator (CRT-D) therapies in remotely monitored patients following device replacement. Methods: Data from 134 patients who underwent ICD/CRT-D replacement or upgrade were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier estimates, as well as Cox proportional hazards regression, were used to present long-term outcomes and predictors of study endpoints, these being all-cause mortality, and appropriate and inappropriate ICD/CRT-D therapies. Results: Among the cohort, 51.5% of patients received ICDs and 48.5% received CRT-Ds; t
