SCREENING FOR THE IMPLANTATION OF A SUBCUTANEOUS IMPLANTABLE AUTOMATIC DEFIBRILLATOR

"Every ICD patient will undergo the standard screening process. Initial screening will be performed as usually performed by physician or Boston Scientific technical support. In case of one or more vector satisfying screening criteria, patient will be assigned in screening success group. In case of failure, a pre-determined electrode positioning protocol will be done with variation of para-sternal and axillary electrodes. Positioning variations will be left to the discretion of the operator cardiologist."
