BackgroundThe real-world prevalence of sudden cardiac death (SCD)-related gene mutations and their relationship with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has not been clearly investigated. MethodsThis study included patients with sporadic DCM with persistent left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) [&le;] 35% even after 3 months of guideline-directed medical treatment or those with an ICD for secondary prevention and LVEF < 50%.
