Background: In 2016, the DANISH study reported negative results regarding the efficacy of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). In this study we determined the efficacy of using ICDs for primary prophylaxis in patients with NICM.Methods and Results: We selected 1,274 patients with underlying cardiac disease who were enrolled in the Nippon Storm Study. We analyzed the data of 451 patients with LVEF ≤35% due to NICM or ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) who underwent ICD implantation for primary prophylaxis (men, 78%; age, 65±12 years; LVEF, 25±6.4%; cardiac resynchronization therapy, 73%; ICM, 33%). After propensity score matching, we compared the baseline covariates between groups: NICM (132 patients) and ICM (132 patients). The 2-year appropriate ICD therapy risks were 27.7% and 12.2% in the NICM and ICM groups, respectively (hazard ratio, 0.390 [95% confidence interval, 0.218–0.701]; P=0.002).Conclusions: This subanalysis of propensity score-matched patients from the Nippon Storm Study revealed that the risk of appropriate ICD therapy was significantly higher in patients with NICM than in those with ICM.

Background: The Micra leadless pacemaker has demonstrated favorable outcomes in global trials, but its real-world performance and safety in a Japan-specific population is unknown.Methods and Results: Micra Acute Performance (MAP) Japan enrolled 300 patients undergoing Micra VR leadless pacemaker implantation in 15 centers. The primary endpoint was the acute (30-day) major complication rate. The 30-day and 6-month major complication rates were compared to global Micra studies. All patients underwent successful implantation with an average follow-up of 7.23±2.83 months. Compared with previous Micra studies, Japanese patients were older, smaller, more frequently female, and had a higher pericardial effusion risk score. 11 acute major complications were reported in 10 patients for an acute complication rate of 3.33% (95% confidence interval: 1.61–6.04%), which was in line with global Micra trials. Pericardial effusion occurred in 4 patients (1.33%; 3 major, 1 minor). No procedure or device-related deaths occurred. Frailty significantly improved from baseline to follow-up as assessed by Japan Cardiovascular Health Study criteria.Conclusions: In a Japanese cohort, implantation of the Micra leadless pacemaker had a high success rate and low major complication rate. Despite the Japan cohort being older, smaller, and at higher risk, the safety and performance was in line with global Micra trials.
