Aims: Approximately 5.7% of potential subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) recipients are ineligible by virtue of their vector morphology, with higher rates of ineligibility observed in some at-risk groups. Mathematical vector rotation is a novel technique that can generate a personalized sensing vector, one with maximal R:T ratio, using electrocardiogram (ECG) signal recorded from the present S-ICD location.
Methods And Results: A cohort of S-ICD ineligible patients were identified through ECG screening of ICD patients with no ventricular pacing requirement and their personalized vectors were generated using ECG signal from a Holter monitor. Subcutaneous ICD eligibility in this cohort was then recalculated. In a separate cohort, episodes of arrhythmia were recorded in patients undergoing arrhythmia induction, and arrhythmia detection in standard S-ICD vectors was compared to rotated vectors using an S-ICD simulator. Ninety-two participants (mean age 64.9 ± 2.7 years) underwent screening and 5.4% were found to be S-ICD ineligible. Personalized vector generation increased the R:T ratio in these vectors from 2.21 to 7.21 (4.54-9.88, P < 0.001) increasing the cohort eligibility from 94.6% to 100%. Rotated S-ICD vectors also showed high ventricular fibrillation (VF) detection sensitivity (97.8%), low time to VF detection (6.1 s), and excellent tachycardia discrimination (sensitivity 96%, specificity 88%), with no significant differences between rotated and standard vectors.
Conclusion: In S-ICD ineligible patients, mathematical vector rotation can generate a personalized vector that is associated with a significant increase in R:T ratio, resulting in universal device eligibility in our cohort. Ventricular fibrillation detection efficacy, time to VF detection, and tachycardia discrimination were not affected by vector rotation.
