Background: Although more than 150,000 implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are implanted yearly worldwide, only few studies systematically examined complications of ICD therapy in large ...
A wearable automatic defibrillator may be an option for patients who are at risk for life-threatening heart rhythm abnormalities but are not good candidates for an implantable cardiac defibrillator ...
