Abstract Background Our main objective was to present a multidisciplinary review on the epidemiology of sudden cardiac death (SCD) and tools that could be used identify malignant ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) perform risk stratification. In addition, indications contraindications for use implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in general special populations including elderly patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are also given. Methods An expert group from Inter American Society Cardiology (IASC), through their HF Council (CIFACAH) Electrocardiology (ElectroSIAC), together Latin Heart Rhythm (LAHRS), reviewed discussed literature regarding appropriate an ICD people heart failure (HF) reduced ejection fraction (HFpEF). Indications presented this review. Results Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated usefulness both primary secondary prevention SCD HFpEF. There currently precise these devices. Conclusions some countries, low rate implantation is correlated incomes, but not case all America. Determinants rates many countries still matter research. VA remains one most common causes cardiovascular associated HFrEF different available stratifying population.
