Traditionally implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have been implanted transvenously by creating a pouch in the subclavicular area and gaining vascular access to the heart. This approach, ...
The FDA today approved the Subcutaneous Implantable Defibrillator (S-ICD) system from Cameron Health. The device is the first ICD that does not require a lead that connects directly to the heart and ...
In a typical population of patients requiring implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy without pacing, mostly for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death, a subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD; ...
(HealthDay)—Intrabody, wireless unidirectional communication is possible using a leadless cardiac pacemaker (LCP) and subcutaneous implantable-cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD), according to a letter ...
An entirely subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) differs from a transvenous ICD in that a single lead is placed subcutaneously. This single lead comprises 2 sensing ring ...
Patients with an indication for an implantable cardiac defibrillator for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death and a sharply reduced left ventricular ejection fraction of 35% or less safely ...

The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (ICD) is noninferior to the transvenous ICD for the risk of device-related complications and inappropriate shocks, according to the PRAETORIAN ...
A pacemaker can help your heart maintain a consistent rhythm. The procedure to insert a pacemaker typically involves a doctor making an incision in the skin that creates a “pocket” where the pacemaker ...
