Testing the beep of a special defibrillator
This study looks at the beeping sound (alert tone) from a certain type of defibrillator placed under the skin. The goal is to understand if patients can hear and recognize these sounds, which could be important for safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a type of defibrillator called a subcutaneous ICD placed under your skin.
- You need to be willing to join the study.
- Your ICD must have been implanted more than 3 weeks ago.
- You must be able to hear (not be deaf) to participate.

This study follows people who are scheduled to get a new ICD (a device that helps protect the heart) and asks about their experiences and quality of life. It may help doctors understand what patients feel and how people do after ICD implantation.
This study tests a new alert system for people with pacemakers or defibrillators that can send information directly to your care team. The goal is to improve how quickly problems are found and treated.
This trial studies whether adding a structured exercise program after an ICD implant is safe and helpful for people with certain heart rhythm problems. You may qualify if you can comfortably walk daily and can follow the study schedule for several months.
This study looks at implanting a type of ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) called a subcutaneous ICD, or S-ICD, which goes under the skin instead of in the heart. It is designed to help see how well this works in standard care.
This study checks how well implanted heart rhythm devices can detect rhythm problems in everyday patients. It may help improve detection and follow-up over the next year.
This study tests a new type of defibrillator that goes underneath the skin, near your breastbone, to protect against dangerous heart rhythms. It may be an option if you need an ICD but haven't had certain prior chest surgeries or devices.
