ABSTRACT
O ICD Register da Medtronic foi introduzido na América Latina com a finalidade de coletar dados relacionados à indicação de implantes de CDI para prevenção primária e secundária de morte súbita e ao acompanhamento de pacientes originários de Porto Rico, Caribe. México e América do Sul. Além dessa ampla variedade geográfica, também foram incluídos detalhes referentes aos cuidados de saúde recebidos como parte do tratamento. O presente estudo apresenta as características de desfecho de 910 portadores de cardiopatias tratados para prevenção primária, em comparação com aqueles nos quais o implante destinou-se à prevenção secundária.
The ICD Register was introduced to Latin America to collect data related to implant indication of ICD for the prevention of primary and secondary deaths and for the follow-up of patients from Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, Mexico and South America. In addition to this vast geographic variety, information related to the health care as part of the treatment has also been included. This study shows the characteristics of the outcome of 910 cardiopathy patients treated for primary prevention, incomparison to those whose implants were meant for secondary prevention.

Apresenta-se pela primeira vez na literatura mundial uma avaliação do acompanhamento de pacientes que receberam implante de cardiodesfibriladores na américa latina(ICD Registry - Medtronic Latin America). O resgistro é de vital importância para orientar condutas em cardiopatias de diferentes etiologias, tais como doença de chagas, miocardiopatia dilatada idiopática e coronariopatias...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: The ICD Registry is an observational study conducted in Latin America to collect data on indications and follow-up care for primary or secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death patients. The objective of this study is to compare and evaluate the characteristics of primary versus secondary prevention in the patient population enrolled in the registry. METHODS: Demographic data, indication, etiology, NYHA functional class and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), pharmacological treatment at implant and the type of ICD implanted were also collected. During the follow-up period the ICD therapies delivered, patient hospitalizations and mortality were evaluated. RESULTS: 507 patients were evaluated. Average age 60 +/- 14 years old, 78% male. Coronary heart disease was the most common etiology (43.6%). NYHA Functional Class I/II at the time of implant (73.6%). Average LVEF was 34 +/- 16%. Out of 507 patients, 189 received an ICD for primary prevention; 318 for secondary prevention. Primary prevention patients were older, predominantly male and had a lower EF. The rate of mortality and hospitalizations were similar between both groups with a higher rate of appropriate therapies in secondary prevention patients. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to demonstrate clinical characteristics of primary prevention patients in Latin America. There were no significant statistically differences in a short follow-up period in mortality or hospitalization as compared to the secondary prevention patient population in the Registry.
