Problem: Sudden Cardiac Death (1960 s and Now) § SCD: the most common cause of death in the U. S. § Incidence: 300, 000 to 400, 000 each year (U. S. ) § Only 2% – 15% reach the hospital § Half of these early survivors die before discharge
Therapy: SCD prevention the 1960 s, 70 s, and 80 s § Frequent PVCs post MI associated with increased mortality (SCD) § Assumptions: § PVCs trigger life-threatening sustained ventricular arrhythmias § Suppression of PVCs with AAD improves survival § SCD is increased in post-MI patients with low EF § Assumptions: § Induction of sustained VT during EP study identifies patientss at increased risk § Suppression of inducibility by AADs improves survival 8

Timeline § 1966, Dr. Harry Heller died of SCD in Israel § 1969, Michel Mirowski and Morton Mower performed the first canine transvenous defibrillation at Sinai Hospital, Baltimore § 1975, First canine implants § February 4, 1980, First human implant at Johns Hopkins
Early AIDs § 1980 -1985 clinical trial of first ICDs § 1985 FDA approved first ICD for human use § First pulse generators were 140 cc (similar to a pack of cigarettes) § Abdominal implant § Thoracotomy patch lead implant § Considered tx of last resort § Patients had failed drugs and survived two episodes of SCD
Landmark ICD Clinical Trials § 1991: CAST • AADs suppressed PVCs but increased mortality § 1996: MADIT • ICDs reduced mortality by 54% vs AADs 13 § 1997/98: AVID, CASH, CIDS • ICDs improved mortality in secondary prevention § 2002: DAVID I • Dual-chamber pacing (70 ppm) vs ventricular back-up pacing (40 ppm) increased mortality in ICD pts. § 2002: MADIT II • ICDs reduced mortality by 31% vs AADs § 2004: DEFINITE • ICDs reduced SAD and all-cause mortality in NICM by an amount that bordered significance § 2004: DINAMITE • ICDs reduced SD but not mortality early after MI § 2005: SCDHe. FT • ICDs reduced mortality vs amiodarone or placebo

DAVID § Dual chamber atrial based pacing could be beneficial by allowing for § Optimal medical management § Increased heart rate and cardiac output § Reduced incidence of AF § Hypothesis: Dual chamber pacing (70 bpm) decreases mortality and HF hospitalization for heart failure compared to ventricular backup pacing (40 bpm). 16
