Right Parasternal Electrode Configuration Converts a Failed Electrocardiographic Screening to a Pass for Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Implantation

摘要

Background Pre-operative electrocardiographic (ECG) screening before subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (SICD) implantation is essential to prevent T-wave oversensing and inappropriate shocks. The failure rate of ECG screening was reported to be up to 8% when only two body positions were tested.
