Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are the most effective therapy in reducing the mortality of patients with life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias. However, the ICD cannot prevent the recurrence of tachycarida attacks and that limits the clinical usefulness of them. The Nippon ICD Plus Pharmachologic Option Necessity (NIPPON) trial was designed as the first prospective randomized study to test the hypothesis whether amiodarone could improve the patient's clinical outcome by reducing the amount of ICD therapy in the Japanese patient population.
