INCREASED SHOCK IMPEDANCE IS ASSOCIATED WITH FAILED SUBCUTANEOUS IMPLANTABLE CARDIOVERTER DEFIBRILLATOR DEFIBRILLATION THRESHOLD TESTING

Patients with unsuccessful DFTs had increased body weight compared to patients with successful DFTs (106 kg +/- 18 vs 87.3 kg +/- 21.5, p= 0.02) Patients who failed the initial 65J DFT had successful DFTs with reversing shock polarity (2), increasing Joules for the subsequent test with standard (2)...

Zusammenfassung:Patients with unsuccessful DFTs had increased body weight compared to patients with successful DFTs (106 kg +/- 18 vs 87.3 kg +/- 21.5, p= 0.02) Patients who failed the initial 65J DFT had successful DFTs with reversing shock polarity (2), increasing Joules for the subsequent test with standard (2) and reversed polarity (1), repositioning the pulse generator (PG) (2), or repositioning the lead more directly over the sternum (1).
