Supports inductionless ICD strategies with high shock success; hypothesis-generating pending randomized confirmation.
Does inductionless ICD implantation using a vulnerability safety margin based on the upper limit of vulnerability provide effective clinical defibrillation in ICD recipients?
Inductionless ICD implantation using a vulnerability safety margin based on a 15 J T-wave scan is feasible in >80% of patients and results in highly successful clinical defibrillation.
