OBJECTIVES: We report the occurrence of @entity299 during long-term follow-up in @entity1 with @entity1121 ( @entity1121 ) after cardioverter-defibrillator implantation. BACKGROUND: The identification of @entity1 at high risk for @entity944 and the prevention of recurrence of @entity944 in @entity1121 represents a difficult problem. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the occurrence of @entity299 during follow-up of 13 @entity1 with @entity1121 who received an @entity737 ( @entity737 ) because of aborted @entity944 (n = 10) or sustained @entity1165 (n = 3) (group I). Findings were compared with those in 215 @entity1 with an @entity737 and other structural @entity299 or @entity10689 (group II). RESULTS: After a mean (+/-SD) follow-up period of 26+/-18 months, 2 of 13 @entity1 in group I received appropriate shocks. The calculated cumulative incidence of shocks was 21% in group I and 66% in group II after 40 months (p < 0.05). We observed a low incidence of recurrence of @entity1165 /fibrillation during follow-up in @entity1 with @entity1121 . No @entity204 occurred. CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that @entity1165 may not always be the primary mechanism of @entity1163 and @entity944 in @entity1 with @entity1121 . The @entity737 seems to have a less important impact on prognosis in @entity1 with @entity1121 than in @entity1 with other etiologies of aborted @entity944 .
