Background: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) remains the basic
reference for the prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) patients, while right
ventricular (RV) abnormalities have now been associated with SCD risk. A modified
benefit assessment tool incorporating RV function parameters in consideration of
implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) insertion should be taken into
account. Methods: We enrolled 954 chronic heart failure (CHF) patients
(age 58.8
