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:There has been no large multicenter clinical trial on the prognosis of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator (CRT-D) in Japanese patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present study was to compare differences in the prognoses of Japanese patients with CAD between primary and secondary prevention, and to identify potential predictors of prognosis.Methods and Results:We investigated 392 CAD patients (median age 69 years, 90% male) treated with ICD/CRT-D enrolled in the Japan Implantable Devices in CAD (JID-CAD) Registry. The primary endpoint was all-cause death, and the secondary endpoint was appropriate ICD therapies. Endpoints were assessed by dividing patients into primary prevention (n=165) and secondary prevention (n=227) groups. The mean (±SD) follow-up period was 2.1±0.9 years. The primary endpoint was similar in the 2 groups (P=0.350).Conclusions:The mortality rate in Japanese patients with CAD who underwent ICD/CRT-D implantation as primary prevention was not lower than that of patients who underwent ICD/CRT-D implantation as secondary prevention, despite the lower cardiac function in the patients undergoing ICD/CRT-D implantation as primary prevention.
