Abstract:At the time of ICD replacement, a manufacturer change occurred in 24% of patients and it was less likely in CRT-D devices, which are equipped with more specific technology and less frequently require the addition of features. System-related complications are strongly associated to upgrade procedures rather than to manufacturer change.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
