Registry monitoring long-term performance of ICD leads

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational registry collects data on patients who have received an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) at the Cantonal Hospital Lucerne since 2006. The study aims to evaluate the long-term performance of ICD leads, particularly in light of early failures observed in certain leads. Data is collected prospectively from December 2016 onwards, focusing on parameters such as electronic impedances, threshold values, sensing values, battery performance, and shock release effectiveness during regular clinical evaluations.
