Arrhythmias Detection in a Real World Population: the RHYTHM DETECT Registry
The study is a prospective multicenter registry. Consecutive patients with indications of implant / replacement or upgrade of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) will be enrolled. The primary objective of the study is to determine the predictors of appropriate anti-tachycardia therapy (with shock) in a non-selected population of patients implanted with an ICD. Secondary objectives of the study are: * the incidence of anti-tachycardia therapies; * the predictors of inappropriate therapy and onset of arrhythmia burden; * the adherence to the current guidelines in the Italian clinical practice; * the predictors of heart failure (HF) onset and response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
• Patient implanted with a Subcutaneous (S)- Ventricular Chamber (VR)- Dual Chamber (DR) - or Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Defibrillator (this study will utilize all the market released CRT-D or VR/DR-ICD systems and leads)
• Patient is willing and able to sign an authorization to use and disclose health information or an Informed Consent
• Patient must be able to attend all required follow-up visits at the study center for at least 12 months
