Modern cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device-based threshold detection enables capture management and voltage output adjusting to combine consistent left ventricular (LV) pacing with acceptable battery drainage. The current technologies available for LV capture automatic confirmation in most cases require the evoked response, as well as "LV pace to right ventricular sense" algorithms. The LV pacing percentage counter may overestimate the CRT delivery which may be reduced due to pacing inhibition (by sensed LV activation) or inadequate capture due to subthreshold current or pacing into refractory tissue.

Background: The wearable cardioverter-defibrillator (WCD) has been approved for patients with poor left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) who are at risk of sudden arrhythmic death for a limited period but are not candidates for a definitive implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). The present study sought to retrospectively analyse our single-centre experience.
Methods And Results: All consecutive WCDs applied between April 2017 and September 2018 in our centre were enrolled.
