This document discusses considerations for implanting an ICD in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy without arrhythmia. It notes that while guidelines are based on LVEF, this is not specific or sensitive in identifying patients who benefit. The presence of late gadolinium enhancement on cardiac MRI can help identify higher-risk patients, as those without enhancement have a much lower risk of sudden death. The document also notes that older patient age decreases the benefits of an ICD. More research is still needed to refine risk stratification and guideline indications.
