Optimal Medications and Appropriate Implantable Cardioverter-defibrillator Shocks in Aborted Sudden Cardiac Death Due to Coronary Spasm.

Conclusion Appropriate ICD shocks were recognized in a quarter of patients with aborted SCD due to coronary spasm and ICD implantation was effective for suppressing the next serious fatal arrhythmia in these patients. We should reconsider prescribing more medications after ICD implantation in patients with aborted SCD due to coronary artery spasm. PMID: 29321418 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
