Conventional and right‐sided screening for subcutaneous ICD in a population with congenital heart disease at high risk of sudden cardiac death

摘要

Information regarding suitability for subcutaneous defibrillator ( ) implantation in tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) and systemic right ventricle is scarce and needs to be further explored. The main objective of our study was to determine the proportion of patients with ToF and systemic right ventricle eligible for with both, standard and right‐sided screening methods. Secondary objectives were: (i) to study eligibility specifically in patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death, (ii) to identify independent predictors for eligibility, and (iii) to compare the proportion of eligible patients in a nonselected population.
