S-ICD implantation study for heart patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to get an S-ICD implanted
- You are able to understand and agree to the study
- You are not pregnant

This trial studies whether implanting a defibrillator (ICD) soon after a heart attack can lower the risk of sudden cardiac death in people with weaker heart pumping and symptoms of heart failure. It compares strategies around defibrillator implantation, aiming to improve safety and outcomes.
This study compares modern heart failure medications and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) to reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death in people with a specific type of heart muscle disease (non-ischemic cardiomyopathy) that is not caused by blocked arteries. It may help guide treatment decisions for those with a weakened heart and certain scarring on heart MRI.
This trial tests whether a programmed heart rhythm test can better identify who needs an implanted defibrillator (ICD) soon after a heart attack. It may help prevent dangerous fast heart rhythms (tachyarrhythmias) by guiding who gets an ICD.
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 looks at placing an ICD, a device that can stop dangerous heart rhythms, to help prevent sudden cardiac death. It is for people over 70 with specific heart function and heart failure symptoms.
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.
