Implication
IS rates from literature warrant caution in VR-/S-ICD selection; leaves open prospective validation of influencing factors.
Structured PICO
What is the annual rate of inappropriate shocks in patients with single-chamber and subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators?
P

Outcome
Annual rate of inappropriate shockssafety
The annual rate of inappropriate shocks in patients with single-chamber or subcutaneous ICDs is approximately 6.4%, with a decreasing trend observed in more recent studies.
