3.2.2.5 Appropriate or inappropriate shocks
Appropriate or inappropriate shocks occurred in 27 patients: 9 patients
in the reduced therapies group (10%) and 18 patients (19%) in the
conventional group (p=0.085). New programming reduced the risk of shocks
(HR 0.223, 95% CI 0.076-0.660, p=0.007) (table 2). It remained
independently associated after adjustment (OR 0.197 95% CI 0.065-0.597,
p=0.004). There was a trend for the use of ACEI/ARB/ARNi as a protective
factor for shocks (OR 0.947 95% CI 0.897-1.001, p=0.053).
