Which Patients Should Be Screened for an S-ICD?

All ICD-indicated patients without a pacing need should be considered for an S-ICD.

	Patient Comorbidities	S-ICD Considered^3,4	TV-ICD Required^3,4	TV-ICD Considered^3,4
Evaluating Need for Brady Pacing^5-7	Brady pacing indication at implant		X
	No current pacing indication, but has 1 or more of the following: H/O CABG surgery H/O atrial fibrillation Age > 80 PR interval > 200 ms			X
	No pacing indication at implant and age < 80	X
High Risk for TV Lead Failure⁸	Life expectancy > 8 years	X
High Risk for Infection⁹	H/O device infection	X
	Prosthetic heart valve	X
	On dialysis or renal insufficiency	X
	Diabetes	X
	Other risk factors: COPD Corticosteroid use Oral anticoagulation Class II-IV heart failure Chronic skin disorder Malignancy	X
High or Low Risk for ATP^10,11	Ischemic or non-ischemic heart failure or ICD-indicated patient with NO history of recurrent sustained monomorphic VT	X
High or Low Risk for ATP^10,11	ICD-indicated patient WITH a history of recurrent sustained monomorphic VT amenable to ATP therapy		X
