The results of this study appeared in a poster presentation -- "Prognostic Significance of PD2i, Novel Risk Marker in Heart Failure Patients" - at the American College of Cardiology 60th Annual Scientific Session on April 4, 2011
"These results are of major importance for risk stratifying heart failure patients who are eligible for therapy with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator (CRT-D). Testing heart failure patients using the PD2i® should enhance risk stratification and motivate physicians to implant these devices in ICD/CRT-D eligible patients with abnormal PD2i® test results," Dr. Zareba concluded.
