Brief Summary

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

This post-market study is a prospective observational study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the LifeVest in real-life settings.

Detailed Description

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

LifeVest has obtained coverage for 4 indications: (i) implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) removal due to cardiac device infections, (ii) a bridge to heart transplantation, (iii) in the early post-myocardial infarction period with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction (LVEF \<30%), (iv) and a recent coronary revascularization with LV dysfunction (LVEF \< 30%). There is no current comparator to LifeVest. In France, patients at high risk for sudden cardiac arrest (SCD) and waiting for heart transplant or ICD are hospitalized or discharged home without any particular ECG monitoring. LifeVest has been demonstrated to automatically detect and terminate rapid ventricular arrhythmias. Introduction of LifeVest into the current patient management would definitely improve the clinical outcomes and benefit the patients with temporary risk of SCD. The use of LifeVest was shown to be effective in protecting patients against SCD in the United States. However, the clinical impact of using LifeVest in France remains unassessed. Therefore we are planning to conduct a post-market study in France to provide efficacy and safety data for the reimbursement dossier renewal before April 2017.
