Dialytic interval and the timing of electrocardiographic screening for subcutaneous cardioverter-defibrillator placement in chronic hemodialysis patients
2018
Background
Hemodialysis (HD) patients have a high risk of sudden death but limited vascular access and high complication rates from transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). Subcutaneous ICDs (S-ICD) may be an alternative, but dynamic ECG changes may result in inappropriate shocks. This study aims to define the screen failure rate for S-ICD in patients pre- and post-HD.
