研究目的:
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that primary prevention patients with one or more additional risk factors (1.5 prevention criteria: syncope/pre-syncope, non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT), frequent pre-ventricular contractions (PVCs), and low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)) are at a similar risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (LTVA) when compared to secondary prevention patients, and would receive similar benefit from an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), or cardiac resynchronization therapy- defibrillator (CRT-D) implant.
