Electrocardiographic parameters (n = 22) before implantation of the left ventricular assist device.
Fig 1.
Number of patients found eligible for S-ICD implantation before and after LVAD implantation using the ECG-based screening test and the device-based screening test, respectively.
LVAD = left ventricular assist device; S-ICD = subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator; * = p < 0.05, ns = not significant.

Evolution of S-ICD eligibility before and after LVAD implantation.
LVAD = left ventricular assist device; S-ICD = subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator; EMI = electromagnetic interference.
