Implantable cardioverter defibrillators in chronic kidney diseaseImplantable cardioverter defibrillators in chronic kidney disease, Published online: 12 April 2018; doi:10.1038/s41581-018-0007-5A recent observational study reports that implantable cardioverter defibrillators were not associated with improved survival in patients with heart failure, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and chronic kidney disease. Further studies are needed to identify which of these high-risk patients are most likely to benefit from this potentially life-saving therapy.
