Does enabling the SP filter reduce inappropriate shocks in patients with a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator?
The novel SP filter significantly reduces inappropriate shocks in S-ICD patients without impairing appropriate shock therapy.
This prospective blinded evaluation of the SP filter demonstrates that enabling the SP filter results in a significant reduction of inappropriate shocks by the S-ICD without a negative effect on appropriate shocks.
Theuns et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
