Reduction of Myopotential Interference With Smart Pass in S-ICD Patients

This study is enrolling participants who are already implanted with a S-ICD device ( subcutaneous ICD), and are undergoing a routine outpatient clinic follow up appointment to have their S-ICD checked. The aim of the study is to see if a feature in the device can recognize muscle movement and differentiate movement from irregular heart signals. The study involves doing some simple arm exercises while collecting device data, both with this feature turn on and then with it turned off. Participants will be randomized to either have the feature turned on or off initially then it will be programmed the alternative way and the same exercise testing will be repeated. The study will involve just one visit.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • At least 18 years of age
  • Implanted EMBLEM S-ICD (Model A 209 and Model A 219, Boston Scientific, St Paul, MN, USA)

Exclusion criteria

  • Less than 18 years of age
  • Hemodynamically unstable
  • Inability to preform TET due to orthopedic issues or cognitive impairment

Treatment and study plan

Smart Pass ON

Device

Smart Pass filter will be programmed ON in the S-ICD while performing exercise testing.

Smart Pass OFF

Device

Smart Pass filter will be programmed OFF in the S-ICD while performing exercise testing.

Primary outcomes

  1. The incidence of myopotential interference

    Time frame: throughout the intervention, approximately 20 minutes

    The incidence of myopotential interference, assessed by subcutaneous electrogram annotated "T" marker during the tube exercise test with or without Smart Pass filter

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of MPI in US participants and Japanese participants

    Time frame: duration of enrollment, approximately 6 months

    Compare the differences in the incidence of myopotential interference in US and Japanese participants
