Mention some indications for implantable cardiac defibrillators.  • Cardiac arrest resulting from ventricular tachyarrhythmia not due to a reversible or transient cause (remember: patients who have cardiac arrest unrelated to acute myocardial infarction have approximately a 35% chance of recurrent ventricular arrhythmias within the first year).  • Spontaneous sustained ventricular tachycardia.  • Syncope of undetermined origin with inducible sustained ventricular tachycardia on electrophysiological study and when drug therapy is not effective or tolerated.  • Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia with coronary artery disease and inducible ventricular tachycardia on electrophysiological study that is not suppressible by a class I antiarrhythmic drug.
