LUKS-Leads Registry on Long-term Performance of ICD Leads

Recruiting
Conditions
Defibrillators
Electrical Shock
Registration Number
NCT03521050
Lead Sponsor
Luzerner Kantonsspital
Brief Summary

All patients having an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) implanted and having follow-up at the Cantonal Hospital Lucerne (LUKS), the investigator center, are included in this retrospective ICD lead registry from 2006 onwards. Data is collected prospectively from december 2016 onwards. After certain ICD-leads tended to fail early the investigators aimed for a registry monitoring our patient population with defibrillator leads and evaluating their long-term performance.

Detailed Description

All patients having an ICD implanted and having follow-up at the investigators center are included in this retrospective ICD lead registry from 2006 onwards. Data is collected prospectively from december 2016 onwards. After certain ICD-leads tended to fail early the investigators aimed for a registry monitoring our patient population with defibrillator leads and evaluating their long-term performance.

The following parameters will be measured during regular clinical controls: electronic impedances, threshold values, sensing values, battery performance, inadequate/adequate shock release und software problems
