Deep learning-based insights on T:R ratio behaviour during prolonged screening for S-ICD eligibility
BackgroundA major predictor of eligibility of subcutaneous implantable cardiac defibrillators (S-ICD) is the T:R ratio. The eligibility cut-off of...

Poorer outcomes associated with more invasive lead management strategies for Abbott Riata® leads: a large, multicenter experience
BackgroundOver 100,000 Abbott Riata ® were implanted in the United States before they were recalled in 2010. There are still a significant number of...
