Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are commonly used to prevent sudden cardiac death (SCD), which is often the result of lifethreatening ventricular arrhythmias (VAs), including sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF). Over the years, ICDs have proved to be effective in terminating almost all VT or VF episodes.1 In 20% of ICD recipients, atrial… View more

Subsequent monitoring is an integral part of both device and patient care, but remains unguided by any prospectively derived data. A consensus suggests that patients with implantable cardioverter– defibrillators (ICDs) should report for routine face-to-face clinic… View more
