Article Synopsis
- A pilot study evaluated the performance of a new extravascular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) designed to improve sensing and arrhythmia detection in patients.
- The study involved 20 patients and tested the device's ability to distinguish between different types of tachycardia (VT and SVT) while monitoring electrogram amplitudes in various postures.
- Results showed low rates of oversensing and undersensing, with oversensing not leading to inappropriate therapy, suggesting the EV ICD is safe and effective for monitoring patients after implantation.
The article contains data pertaining to the reconstruction of an 8-lead ECG from 2 subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator vectors. The location of electrodes on the precordium required for the data collection are detailed; the flow chart for patient selection and exclusion is shown; the summary data of the root mean square error (RMSE) (in microvolts) and Pearson for the ECG transformation all cases and the pearson correlation for all the leads measured and reconstructed leads are also shown. Detailed background, methodology and discussion can be found in the linked research article.

Methods: Participants with ICDs (N=61) underwent 3minute ECGs using a TMSi Porti7 multi-channel signal recorder (TMS international, The Netherlands) with electrodes in the standard S-ICD and 12-lead positions.
