ABSTRACT
The implantable automatic cardiodefibrilator (IACD) has proved to be an effective tool in the prevention of both primary and secondary sudden death. Even so, the mortality of patients receiving an IACD still remains elevated. Recent data, obtained from the secondary analysis of different studies, suggest that the discharges of the deice, between other clinical variables, both electrocardiiographic and ultrasonographic could be associated to a higher mortality, maybe due to a contribution to the progression of the cardiac insufficiency. The aims of this report were to evaluate the incidence of mortality, causes of death and the time since the implantation till the death, to analyze appropriate an inappropriate shocks and other variaables as potential predictors of mortality in patients with IACD. The results obtained in this study are detailed in the article
