    AbstractWe compared 1-year survival in patients receiving implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) that provide only shock therapy with more advanced ICDs that provide antitachycardia pacing, bradycardia pacing, low-energy cardioversion, and advanced detection algorithms. Outcome in patients with advanced-generation ICD systems was similar or improved compared with outcome in patients receiving ICDs with only monophasic shock.
