An entirely subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) differs from a transvenous ICD in that a single lead is placed subcutaneously. This single lead comprises 2 sensing ring ...

In a typical population of patients requiring implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy without pacing, mostly for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death, a subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD; ...

Traditionally implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have been implanted transvenously by creating a pouch in the subclavicular area and gaining vascular access to the heart. This approach, ...

Implantable cardioverter–defibrillators (ICDs) prevent sudden death from cardiac causes in selected patients but require the use of transvenous lead systems. To eliminate the need for venous access, ...

Patients with an indication for an implantable cardiac defibrillator for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death and a sharply reduced left ventricular ejection fraction of 35% or less safely ...

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 ...

If you have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and especially if you have obstructive HCM that reduces blood flow out of your heart, you and your doctor may discuss ways to lower your risk of sudden ...

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 ...

This section describes safety outcomes from the published literature that the committee considered as part of the evidence about this procedure. For more detailed information on the evidence, see the ...
