Right Ventricular Defibrillation Lead Select Site Study

NCT00385749 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 98

Last updated 2007-11-01

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will compare single coil right ventricular defibrillation leads for implanted cardioverter/defibrillators (ICDs) in the apical and high septal locations. It is hypothesized that RV septal positions are at least as good as apical positions using formally measured defibrillation thresholds(DFTs), and that they may have long term advantages in reducing left ventricular dysfunction.
