• To the Editor: Survivors of acute myocardial infarction (MI) are at substantial risk of subsequent death due to progressive heart failure, arrhythmic events, and/or reinfarction. Among patients with LVEF <=35% (i.e., ICD candidates), increased NRR identifies a group of patients with frequent N-SCD (i.e., a mode of death likely not implantable cardioverter-defibrillator [ICD] preventable). [...]it cannot be excluded that ICD implantation might be harmful in some of these patients.
