Abstract
INTRODUCTION: S-ICD eligibility is assessed at pre-implant screening where surface ECG traces are used as surrogates for S-ICD vectors. In heart failure (HF) patients undergoing diuresis, electrolytes and fluid shifts can cause changes in R and T waves. Subsequently, T:R ratio, a major predictor of S-ICD eligibility, can be dynamic.
