See if 12-lead ECG can predict S-ICD eligibility for adults

Official title: Identifying Electrocardiographic Markers on a Standard 12-lead ECG to Determine Which Patients Are Eligible for the Implantation of a Subcutaneous Defibrillator.

Run by Nantes University Hospital · NCT07157449 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether a standard 12-lead ECG can predict who is suitable for a subcutaneous defibrillator (S-ICD) before implantation.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults over 18 undergoing cardiology consultation who consent to participate and are affiliated with social security.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose ECGs are not predictive of S-ICD eligibility or who do not ultimately receive an S-ICD won't benefit.

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

What this trial studies

This observational study collects routine care data to determine if a 12-lead ECG can forecast S-ICD screening outcomes. Eligible patients are adults undergoing cardiology consultation who consent to participate, with data recorded in a secure electronic form. Researchers will use deep learning on the ECG data to predict S-ICD eligibility without requiring additional invasive tests. There is no follow-up beyond data collection, and outcomes will be analyzed to assess predictive accuracy. The study is conducted at Nantes University Hospital and CHU de Nantes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could reduce unnecessary S-ICD screening and guide planning for patients who may benefit from the device.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work has explored ECG-based prediction methods, but using a standard 12-lead ECG to predict S-ICD eligibility is exploratory.
