Plain-language summary
The primary objective of DILEMMA study is to assess whether the "heart failure optimal therapy alone (HFOT)" strategy is non inferior to the "HFOT+ICD" strategy in terms of overall survival 48 months after randomization, in patients ≥ 70 years with an ICD indication for primary prevention of SCD whether there is an indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy or not.
