Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) ventricular fibrillation (VF) conversion testing success is influenced by implant geometry and shock impedance. Intermuscular (IM) generator placement reduces subgenerator adiposity, but coil–sternum distance remains a determinant of elevated high-voltage impedance.
