The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) is associated with fewer lead-related complications than a transvenous ICD; however, the subcutaneous ICD cannot provide bradycardia and ...

Electric shocks delivered by subcutaneous defibrillators are equally effective compared to shocks delivered by conventional transvenous defibrillators, according to a study published in the journal ...

Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) therapies represent a significant advance in the prevention of sudden cardiac death. By positioning both the generator and the lead entirely ...

The PRAETORIAN score is a noninvasive test that gives a score from 30 to 900, which can be interpreted as low risk (<90 ...

“Defibrillation testing can be safely omitted after S-ICD implantation when guided by the PRAETORIAN score,” Knops concluded, ...

Among recipients of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillators, the omission of defibrillation testing (DT) was not associated with significant differences in mortality, or in the rates of ...

BOSTON -- A leadless pacemaker reliably communicated with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) to deliver anti-tachycardia (ATP) and bradycardia pacing, the MODULAR ATP study ...

SAN DIEGO, CA—Use of a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) appears to have some advantages over transvenous devices for patients with an ICD indication but no need for pacing, ...

Hamilton, ON (April 30, 2022) – High-risk patients who need defibrillators to prevent cardiac arrest can experience fewer complications with a type of device implanted under the skin, a Canadian study ...
