Key result
Changes in defibrillation threshold are minimal across a broad range of left ventricular ejection fractions, confirming the difficulty of clinically identifying patients with a high threshold.
Why the study?
Can clinical parameters predict patients with a high defibrillation threshold during ICD implantation?

It remains difficult to clinically predict which patients will have a high defibrillation threshold during ICD implantation, as LVEF and other parameters correlate poorly with DFT.

Theuns et al. (2010) conducted an editorial in Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation. Defibrillation threshold (DFT) testing was evaluated. Changes in defibrillation threshold are minimal across a broad range of left ventricular ejection fractions, confirming the difficulty of clinically identifying patients with a high threshold.
