Wearable defibrillator to improve accuracy in selecting candidates to implantable defibrillator: A real‐world experience

The indication for implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) for sudden cardiac death (SCD) prevention relies mostly on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 35%. The use of a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) in the case of dynamic alterations of LVEF may help avoid an improper early ICD implant when a favourable evolution in the post‐acute phase is observed and may help reduce costs.
