ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Guidelines recommend defibrillation testing (DFT) during subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) implantation. Implant position, patient characteristics and device factors, such as shock impedance, influence defibrillation success. To evaluate the shock impedance, a manual synchronous 10J shock (low energy synchronous shock [LESS]) can be delivered, without the need to induce ventricular fibrillation (VF).OBJECTIVE:
To compare LESS and DFT impedance values and to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of LESS impedance for predicting a successful DFT during S-ICD implantation.METHODS:
Consecutive S-ICD implantations were included. Shock impedances were compared by paired t-tests. Univariate analysis was performed to investigate factors associated with successful DFT. A prediction model of successful DFT based on LESS impedance was assessed by logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, area under the ROC curve and the Hosmer-Lemeshow tests were used to evaluate the accuracy of LESS impedance.RESULTS:
Sixty patients were included (52 ± 14 years; 69% male). LESS and DFT impedance values were highly correlated (r2 = 0.97, p < .01). Patients with a failed first shock had higher body mass index (BMI) (30 ± 3 vs. 25.7 ± 4.3, p = .014), higher mean LESS (120 ± 35Ω vs. 86. ± 23Ω, p = .0013) and DFT impedance (122 ± 33Ω vs. 87 ± 24Ω, p = .0013). ROC analysis showed that LESS impedance had a good diagnostic performance in predicting a successful conversion test (AUC 84% [95% CI 0.72-0.92]) with a cutoff value of <94Ω to identify a successful DFT (sensitivity 71%, specificity 73%).CONCLUSION:
LESS impedance values without the need to induce VF can intraoperatively predict a successful DFT.
