We evaluated the association between ICD shocks and survival after adjusting for baseline mortality using the Seattle Heart Failure Model. Among 425 patients followed for a median of 41 months, 59% experienced ≥1 shock and 40% died. Any shock was associated with increased mortality (HR 1.55; 95% CI 1.07–2.23). Mortality rose with greater shock burden, while antitachycardia pacing alone did not increase risk. These findings suggest ICD shocks themselves may contribute to higher mortality. 000000646 540__ $$fCC BY 000000646 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000646 650__ $$aMortality$$022435 000000646 650__ $$aDefibrillators$$035974 000000646 650__ $$aShock$$025955 000000646 650__ $$aDeath$$017403 000000646 650__ $$aDeath, Sudden, Cardiac$$029385 000000646 650__ $$aDefibrillators, Implantable$$029722 000000646 650__ $$aHeart Arrest$$019929 000000646 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000646 692__ $$aDepartment of Physiology and Pharmacology$$041442 000000646 7001_ $$aLarsen, Gail$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000646 8564_ $$94f440a4a-4513-4db6-874f-7de3b6be0b23$$s270278$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/646/files/647_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2a669cf38e95e062a89e3358433cc7ee8$$31 000000646 905__ $$a/rest/prod/pn/89/d6/59/pn89d6592 000000646 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:646$$pstudent-work 000000646 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000646 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
