DOI: 10.1002/ejhf.948
Abstract: Heart failure (HF) represents a major cause of morbidity and health care expenditure globally,1 and increases the risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD). In the USA, about 325 000 adults die from SCD every year,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12109
Abstract: Defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing has been an integral part of implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) implantation to confirm appropriate sensing of ventricular fibrillation and to establish an adequate safety margin for defibrillation. However, there is a lack… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joa3.12141
Abstract: Compared to screening ECG before implantation of a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (S‐ICD), selectable vectors without T‐wave oversensing increase after S‐ICD implantation. Newer algorithms have recently become available to reduce T‐wave oversensing, such as SMART pass… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00380-017-1064-6
Abstract: Recent studies have shown that subcutaneous or subfascial pacemaker- and ICD implantation with continued oral anticoagulation therapy is associated with lower risk for bleeding complications, when compared to heparin bridging strategies. However, ICD generators are… read more here.
