A 2002 study led by Dr Arthur Moss, professor of Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Centre, and the MADIT (Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial) research group showed that an implanted defibrillator, or ICD, reduced the risk of death by 31 percent in cardiac patients.

This review of the literature is timely: the publication of both the MADIT (1996) and especially the MADIT-II (2004) trials provided overwhelming evidence for the benefit of ICDs in both primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death.
Research review
"Considering recent trial results such as MADIT II, we expect that the number of patients who receive an ICD for primary prevention will increase progressively over the next decade.
ICD therapy linked to lower risk of cardiac arrest
As previously reported in the Post (July/August 2002), the results of the landmark MADIT II trial provide hope for many patients with prior myocardial infarction (MI) who would otherwise become victims of sudden cardiac death (SCD), a condition that claims the lives of more than 300,000 Americans each year--with about 80 to 90 percent of those deaths caused by ventricular fibrillation.
