ABSTRACT
Background:
The current status of wearable cardiovascular defibrillators (WCD) use in Japan is unclear.Methods:
Using a nationwide claims database of Japan, we assessed characteristics of patients using WCD and factors influencing subsequent implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation.Results:
In 1049 cases, those with prior cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) or ventricular arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy, or device-related issues were more likely to require permanent ICDs, whereas females were less likely.Conclusions:
Prior CPA or fatal arrhythmia, underlying cardiomyopathy, or device-related issues were associated with future permanent ICD implantation. These findings offer insights into the current status of WCD use in Japan.
