Comparative effectiveness of implantable cardioverter defibrillators for primary prevention in women.
The researchers examined clinical practice data to compare survival rates among women with heart failure with or without a primary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Theyn found that among patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, a primary prevention ICD was associated with a significant survival advantage among women and among men.

Potentially preventable hospitalizations for congestive heart failure among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Hawai'i.
The authors studied congestive heart failure (CHF) hospitalizations among racial groups. They found that high preventable CHF hospitalization rates are seen in some Asian and Pacific Islander groups, especially Native Hawaiians and Filipinos, who have these hospitalizations at younger ages than other studied groups.
