EPS for induction of VT/VF had been performed in about 16% of patients with reduced LVEF before primary prevention ICD/CRT-D implantation. Elevated BNP levels and no use of amiodarone, but not inducibility of VT/VF, appeared to be associated with appropriate defibrillator therapy in these populations.
