Implantable Defibrillators Do Not cut Sudden Cardiac Death In Women, Study

US researchers found that using implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) in women with heart failure did not reduce their probability of sudden cardiac death.

The study was the work of principal researcher Dr Christian Machado, an electrophysiologist in the Department of Cardiology, Providence Hospital Heart Institute and Medical Center, Southfield, Michigan, and colleagues, and is published in the 14 September matter of the Archives of Internal Medicine.

Machado and colleagues carried out a meta-analysis of major randomized clinical trials that investigate the use of ICDs in 934 women with heart failure compare to women treated with medical therapy. A meta-analysis is a way of pooling together the results of several studies as if the data had come from one large study.
