Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with worse survival in patients with implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs). This study examined the association of outcomes with CKD in patients receiving an ICD for primary versus secondary prevention.Methods: The study included 696 patients who underwent ICD placement for clinical reasons (59% primary, 41% secondary prevention) at the University of Alabama at Birmingham between January 2002 and September 2007. CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate
