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

Recruiting

• Conditions: Defibrillators; Electrical Shock
• Interventions: Device: defibrillator lead

• 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
