Abstract 224: No Difference in Complications or Mortality by Implanted Cardioverter Defibrillator Type in Veterans Enrolled in The Outcomes Among Veterans with Implantable Devices (OVID) Registry Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: Unadjusted analyses showed an association between dual chamber ICD and CRT-D devices and risk of non-fatal major events and the composite outcome versus single chamber ICD implantation. This did not persist when adjusted for clinical characteristics and comorbidities, though we are underpowered for small differences. Further study is needed as prior reports may not have adjusted adequately for clinical covariates and lacked validated outcomes.

Conclusions: Approximately 1 in 10 HF patients without AF or other documented indications are prescribed warfarin at discharge, and prescription rates vary widely across hospitals. Further research is needed to understand why anticoagulation is prescribed to patients with HF in the absence of documented indications.
