Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research study is to test the function of a subjects implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) function throughout the duration of their heart surgery. ICD function can be altered during some types of heart surgery such as those when a pump (ventricular assist device - VAD) is implanted. The investigators would like to study the mechanism of device and ICD malfunction.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

ICD function is typically measured prior to and after surgery. For the study, the investigators will measure ICD lead function multiple times throughout the surgery as well, to determine if and when device malfunction occurs. ICD lead function is measured noninvasively through a specialized computer the same way it is checked in the clinic. In addition, the investigators will test ICD function as they usually do following surgery.
