The indication of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death has been introduced later in France than in other parts of the World. Overall, we aimed to assess the risk-benefit ratio of this strategy over a 10 year period.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Coronary artery disease or dilated cardiomyopathy with low ejection fraction implanted with an ICD in the setting of primary prevention (criteria at the discretion of the physician)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Setting of secondary prevention
