1st Collaborative Assessment – Wearable cardioverter-defibrillator (WCD) therapy in primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac arrest in patients at risk
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is the most common cause of death in patients with coronary artery disease. Mostly, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation are the underlying aetiology of SCA, which is claimed to be successfully treated by a novel defibrillation therapy, a wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD). The assessment aimed to provide valid data on clinical […]
