“…The authors hypothesize that implementation of care according to guidelines allowed a reduction in indication for implantation of indicated cardiac devices (i.e., implantable cardioverter defibrillator, cardiac resynchronization therapy).

Patients covered by Medicaid protection were predominantly male, (56.1% men vs 43.9% women), African Americans (42% African Americans vs 32% Whites), smokers (44.6% vs 35.3.PI), and drug users (15.3% vs 2.7%).…”
