Use of class IC antiarrhythmic drugs in patients with structural heart disease and implantable cardioverter defibrillator

ConclusionIn a multicenter cohort of ICD-carriers with SHD, class-IC-AADs were associated with a low rate of pro-arrhythmic effects or cardiovascular mortality. The majority of patients remained free from sustained VA during a follow-up of  >  2 years. Further efforts should be made to evaluate the safety of class-IC-AADs in SHD patients receiving contemporary cardiovascular therapy.Graphical abstract
