Study finds implantable defibrillators as effective in women as in men

rt attack as men. The study also found that both genders get a similar benefit from ICD therapy, which reduced mortality risk in women by an estimated 43 percent, and in men by 34 percent.

"Studies show that women received just 9,000 of 46,000 ICDs implanted in 2001," said Wojciech Zareba, M.D., Ph.D., lead author on the study and associate professor of Medicine (Cardiology) within the Cardiology Unit at the medical center. "Some physicians may be biased, perceiving that women have a lower cardiac mortality rate. Our study provides evidence that this perception needs to change if we are to better prevent sudden death in women after their heart attack."
