Abstract

Background: Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) are cornerstone in the treatment of sudden cardiac death. Empirical studies have found many patients with an ICD are unaware of the potential for device deactivation, limiting shared decision-making. Dying patients with an active ICD have an increased risk of experiencing painful futile shocks.
