Abstract
Higher rate of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks has been associated with increased mortality and morbidity. The aim of our study was to determine whether statins reduced the intensity rate of appropriate shock therapy for ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation in patients with an ICD placed for left ventricular systolic dysfunction. In this retrospective single center analysis, patients with an ejection fraction
