[SCD-FORUM] EXPERTS ASK, EXPERTS ANSWER

[SCD Symposium]

Dr. Serge Boveda from France asks:

- One ICD for each post-MI patient: dream or nightmare?

Dr. Beatrice Brembrilla Perrot from France answers

- The answer is nightmare

To wait heart transplantation without risk in a patient, I agree

To delay the death related to heart failure I disagree

One other indication : the contraindication to beta blockers !!

We still need to collect non invasive and invasive studies of our  
patients to decrease the indications of ICD, to need more precisely  
the coronary status of these patients (unknown in MADIT) and I hope  
for the development a real curative treatment  (ex cells injection…)


  Sincerely yours
Béatrice
