Official title

Comparison of Ventricular Fibrillation Induction Techniques During Medtronic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Implant

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

As the indications for Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator implantation expand, minimizing implant time is critical. Also, patients receiving biventricular ICDs are sometimes more unstable and minimization of sedation time is crucial. Multiple induction attempts, with a 1-Joule shock, can cause disruption in lead position. Therefore limiting the number of attempts will allow for better lead stability throughout the procedure and a more straightforward implant process. Investigator proposes a detailed documentation of success rates from various Ventriculart Fibrillation induction methods during implant of Medtronic defibrillation capable devices.
