Evaluating Myocardial Injury for Defibrillation Threshold Testing Methods for ICD Implantation

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cardiomyopathy, Heart Failure, Cardiac Arrhythmia

In brief

The objective of this study is to evaluate myocardial injury, if any, as quantified by cardiac markers (Troponin-T) in defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing during implantation of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) using the upper limit of vulnerability (ULV) method vs. standard defibrillation threshold method.
