Many physicians may not experience this high-risk, low-frequency patient presentation during residency. We created this simulation to increase residents' knowledge of basic defibrillator function and confidence in managing patients with malfunctioning defibrillators.

Primary prophylactic ICD implantation is indicated in patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction of ≤ 35 %, clinical stages NYHA II-III and a life expectancy > 1 year.
