Background Programming long arrhythmia detection times can reduce the incidence of
implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shock therapy. However, potential concerns exist …

Background Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have become the mainstay of
preventive measures for sudden cardiac death (SCD). However, there are limited data on …

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) improve the survival in patients at risk of
sudden cardiac death. However, these patients have an ongoing risk of sudden …

Aims This study aimed to develop and validate a competing risk nomogram for predicting all‐
