[Automated implantable cardioverter/defibrillators. Indications for implantation and clinical results].
Since the first implantation in 1980 about 55,000 automatic Cardioverter/Defibrillators (ICD) were implanted worldwide. This paper overviews the development of indications for ICD implantation as well as clinical results especially with respect to prophylaxis of sudden cardiac death.
