Assessment

Primary outcomes

Primary End-Point: The primary end-points of this study are: (1) an appropriate ICD therapy; and (2) an alteration of the assigned treatment because of its harmful effect and/or frequent ICD therapy deliveries (more than 3 sessions of ICD first therapy within 24h). The latter one includes termination of amiodarone or a transition to an alternative antiarrhythmic drug (class I or class III) in the amiodarone group, or curative interventions such as catheter ablation or cryosurgery in either group

Key secondary outcomes

Secondary End-Points: The secondary end-points of this study are: (1) total death; (2) arrhythmia death; (3) cardiac death; (4) re-hospitalization aiming to control VT/VF; (5) impairment of patient's QOL; (6) deterioration of heart failure; (7) abnormal increase in the DFT (less than a 10J safety margin); (8) inappropriate ICD therapy; or (9) occurrence of side-effects from amiodarone

Key inclusion criteria

The patients entering this trial will meet the following entry criteria: (1) all patients will have spontaneous episode(s) of sustained VT or VF; (2) all patients will have organic heart disease as documented either by electrocardiography, echocardiography, cardiac catherterization, nuclear scintigraphy, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging; (3) all patients will correspond to the guidelines for ICD therapy determined by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, in Japan; (4) all patients will be free of any class I or class III drugs at the time of the ICD implantation, and all anti-arrhythmic srugs (except for beta-blockers) will be discontinued at least 5 half-lives before implantation. Beta-blockers will be allowed to be prescribed when appropriate.
